Football is the game with the little round black and white ball... I like Football as it takes some skill if you have people playing the game, not screwing around milking penalties (Aussie team can be shocking for it.... ).
Rugby is good to play, need a reasonable grasp of strategy if you are in the back row. If you are a forward your job is to hit people (which is what I did). ... Super 14 rocks, Rugby World Cup is good for laughs.... Union is better than League.....
American Football is for pussies.... Remove the pads please, then I'll think about playing....
AFL= Bloody strange game... Which doesn't make any sense whatsoever.... Wiki's AFL article

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
ummm broaden your options, As i see it there are many codes of 'football'.
Soccer - ('football' in the rest of the world)
AFL - Australian Football League (my personal favorite)
Rugby League
Rugby Union
Gaelic Football
NFL
May have missed a few, if so please enlighten me.
As for what i voted, Soccer is football (the one with the black and white round ball).

Go play your fucking cricket
now we know americans are outnumbered in this forum
The most aggresive sport i have ever played. From the following list Hockey (field), Rugby, Soccer, Judo and thats about it.Sh1fty2k5 wrote:

Aggresive because, If someone smacks me for 4 or 6, next ball I bowl is dug in short and aimed for his adams apple. Same with batting, if I have a fielder in close Im aiming for his ankle. Gentlemans game my arse.
That is 22 guys running after black and white ball, but I have always hated that sport and us at our ice-hockey team call it... errrr how should i say it in English... well... ball game for ladies...

The Poll is only about the term "football".
Not the different kinds of american football since Rugby is Rugby.
The poll shall determine what you understand under the term "football"!

so am i wrong if i say rugby is not called football?
Well it all comes down to where you come from doesn't it?, and like I said in my previous post, where I come from football = rugby league.
I call it Egg Chasing.
hmmm, yes it does. Always thought people call rugby, rugby.riz wrote:

You Europeans take football a little too serious don't you think? I'd hate to be stuck in the middle of a football riot.
Yes and when i think of the term 'football' i think of the first 4 in my list (because there the ones played in Australia). If you want to speak about a specific one then specify it, eg. soccer, league, union, AFL etc.bmb|danCer wrote:

Therefore the options given are not broad enough, as not everything has to be black and white.
I can accept that in most places around the world people call soccer, 'football'. But this is because they don't play any other kind of 'football' so there is no need to differentiate between them. There are and will always be exceptions.
Sorry, can't edit the poll any more.
It's the biggest adrenaline rush you will ever experience at football. Im not a hoolie but have been caught up loads of times. You'd be suprised about the people who join in these activities, people from all ages I have seen, youngest being 14 ish oldest being in there 60's, I kid you not.shadow18alpha wrote:

I do not condone violence, certanly not at football, but it happens.
U.S is gonna get their asses kicked so bad in the world cup they won't be able to sit for another 4 years. Looking forward to see america loose. ahahahahahahah

It's ridiculous. They should worry about having enough beer at the stadiums.
I live in cardiff mate about 5 minutes walk from the city centre, and the sounds of police sirens and ambulances is a comfort to me on the weekends whenever theres a match in the stadium.1927 wrote:

Last weekend was particulary noisy with the rugby on saturday and I think it was Chelsea playing on the sunday.

I was in Berlin last year and locals scared the life out of me. Young lads wearing stomper boots, skin heads, and all had dogs. If England or anyone else think they can go and "own" a city they will have the shock of there life.
Thats Berlin for you I can't speak about other areas

AMERICAN football is that crappy game played with shoulder pads, (I don't care how unpopular that comment makes me, I think its a stupid game.)
Soccer is the black and white patched ball game with the goals and the terrible acting. Do you reckon their should be an Academy Award for Best Soccer Hollywood?
Rugby FTW, Union or League, I'm not picky. All Blacks rule, so Union is better I guess. We'll win the World Cup this time I swear.
RUGBY UNION FTW
If any of you septics ever get to watch a super 14 rugby match you'll blow your wad after being brought up thinking of that abomination "football" as a sport!
Just to make you all salivate i have linked a video of the all blacks in action

BTW one of the greatest tries ever scored appears at about 4:15
Soccer ftw - it's much more suspenseful:
'Is he going to score? He's coming up to the goal! He's about to score! OH MY F***ING GOD, HE MISSED BY 2 FEET!' Meanwhile, your heart decides that it's going to try and become a vibrator.
