I just got a bit angry that he had the nerve to call FIFA not a football game but a soccer game & then say Madden is a football game.

The whole world except for america sees soccer as football & calls it that.

Madden isn't a football game, soccer isn't football either. Football is my national sport, but people in other countries call it Rugby.

This is confusing enough without adding in Oceanic variations on games.

American football is one game (usually just called football in USA/Canada)

Football is one game (called soccer in USA/Canada.... Aus/N.Z too?)

Rugby is another game (well 2 in reality, as there is League and Union rugby with different rules/number of players)

Then what we in the UK call Aussie rules football seems to be a (quite violent) cross between football and rugby, at least from what I know about it. I would guess this is what you are referring to but feel free to correct me.
