What is "football" and what isn't

Lol, good luck with your elections, because things change. 40 years ago there were no commies in Brazil except for a few guerrillas that were crushed by army. Now their politics is made of "50 shades of red" and in the last 13 years socialists have fucked this country hardcore in all the imaginable ways. Our first socialist president (Lula da Silva) was much like Obama.

However, we still play the real football game, brought from England in the XIX century.

...But you still don't have the real football!!!!!!! The British made it, there's no point in calling your western egg orgy game "football".

Btw, Europe>>>>>>>USA (except for the weak scandinavian countries). I'm still hopeful about my homeland Portugal.

Jegue, my friend, let me remind you...when America was "discovered", the settlers thought they were in India. To this day Americans refer to Native Americans as 'Indians'. Don't think that the U.S.A. is above renaming something and setting it in stone. Bc they will. Every. Time.

I completely agree, Tankgirl...

The name "indios" was attributed by the Spanish, in fact because they thought they were in India. You can call native americans "indians", you can call socialists smart, and you can call a western egg orgy game "football". I'm just pointing out that it isn't football, no matter how you gringos call it lol

OK, I'm glad we've settled this debate. Americans can choose to rename whatever we want at our leisure, and the rest of the world can suck it.

Now, let's talk about something important...

Are you guys as freaked out about the potential global outbreak of the Zika virus after the Olympics are held in Brazil?

A bunch of south American countries are asking woman to avoid pregnancy for months, some even years, due to the massive number of babes being born with tiny heads, and we're sending millions of people there to play and watch games.

The only thing I am sure about, is it's a good time to invest in bug spray!

Look in your pants...

relax bro, we have been americanize all our childhood, we know more about american than a typical american. and it really doesn't matter if they call it football or eggball cause no one care much about american football outside of america and vice versa for football(soccer), like come on man they can change dick to dick and cock to cock, they might as well call it anything they want (i think we call it american football or american rugby not to be mistaken for actually rugby)

It is called Football in Canada as well, the British play soccer.. I will say I doubt theres a football player around that has the stamina of a soccer player

[perrinoia]

I used to "play" soccer...

I stood in one place, counting grass or thinking about nothing, until I happened to notice the ball roll near me... Then I'd just kick it as hard as I could towards one of the goals, and inevitably get yelled at for kicking it at the wrong goal...

The goalies always wore the same uniforms... Different from their team, but similar to each other, so I had no fucking clue... Plus it was little league, so everyone else was chasing the ball off-sides, and I couldn't tell by looking for the opposing defense.

TLDR; Soccer sucks.
