I don't want to start off another war because it's been done loads, but I came across this on a Football (soccer) message board, and it made me think of the arguments in here. Pages 1 and 2 are America bashing but it gets more two sided after that.http://195.8.171.32/vb_forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=69403&perpage=15&pagenumber=1
tha best way to not start a "war", is to not title yur thread..."REAL football vs American Football". lol. To us, "REAL football" IS American football. The otha one...is jus soccer.

Unfortuanately there is a valid reason for the World Series being called that. Basically it was sponsored in its early days by the "New York World Post". When the sponsors name was dropped the "World" part was kept as it was kind of traditonal. For once the Yanks were not having delusions of grandeur.
and the country that invented cricket has no place telling us that baseball is boring....
This is a true story from my honeymoon in Cancun. Got talking to an old American couple at a beach bar, who were very pleasant and quite good company. 10 minutes later, their fat teenage son came over. His parents kindly introduced us to his son, who proceeded to ask probably the most stupid question I have ever heard. "So what language do you speak in England then ?" I responded with "English...how about you" whilst dad, to his credit gave him a look of pure stupidity before telling him "son, these guys taught us how to speak" Just a short story, but for me overwhelming evidence that Yanks are stupid Case closed !!
i find it funny how british people trash americans for being dumb when our football is A LOT more intellegent than socceri love it how you guys say our games are boring to watch becuase theres not enough action, but how much more exciting is soccer when you can take a shit , shower, and go to the store, come back and the score is still 0-0~!
