It's because America is very much a fast food culture.  We want instant gratification (lots of scoring) and don't like discussing the technical brilliance of a 0-0 draw.

Also about the USA not competing in football (soccer).  It's because our best athletes don't play the sport much and actually play several different sports.  All of the best athletes in Brazil (a large country) play football almost exclusively and this is a big reason for them always being amongst the best.  What I'm saying is that if all Americans concentrated on only playing football, then they would be one of the top teams every World Cup.  I know that many don't want to hear this, but it's true.  Also, the USA has a lot of short and agile people that play sports called baseball, tennis, and sometimes hockey.  Not everyone is built like Lebron James.   

Because they didn't grew up with football and don't understand the tactics. And you won't learn the tactics, subtlety's of the game, etc. by just watching a game once in a while.  That's also the reason why I don't like American football.

Would the USA steam roll the rest of the world if they cared? No, definitely not. But they have all the facilities and a large enough population to become a force to be reckoned with.

Tbh, I would love if the USA took an interest in the game.

Really Australians? Did they invent either sport? How long after the games, rules, names had been established did they start playing football or rugby. Either code.

What first had the name of football in regards to the major sports played today. Don't need to get into eton wall games and the such. If you are you saying that rugby and football were the same sport then which changed first? Bear in mind the date from this quote

"Edward II became involved in the debate on football and in 1314 complained about "certain tumults arising from great footballs in the fields of the public, from which many evils may arise."

Rugby grew out of one of the many variations of Football around the country.

GridIron has been called a decendant of Rugby so Yanks calling it football are getting it wrong for a whole new reason.

And when was Australia discovered?

Also most of the world gets the name wrong? Most of the world calls Football Football

Football has ALWAYS been called football.  Trying to argue that because  years later they added association then saying that later still some parts of sociaty  called it soccer so soccer is it's real name is setting up your own defeat.

trying to say random country's sports which you acknowledge as being decendants of football call it something different so 1000 years (older than both countries) of history is null makes me laugh.

As for legal documents, well I was trying to find a time when someone would use association and that was the best i could come up with. But you're right I was wrong. Most simply say football especially outside of England.

Yeah but baseball never ends in a tie, and unless its great great great pitching it normally always has hits and a few homeruns.  Like I said before I have been trying to like this sport, but its just really hard.  Two games in the books and not one has had a winner. 

Can someone please explain why the fans use those stupid horns the whole game?  I thought soccer was all about stadium wide chants (which is awesome and I wish other sports had it).  They don't blow them in any discernable way.  They aren't giving an advantage to either team when blown indiscriminatly, just giving me and everyone else a headache.

Ok, so according to you... Rugby's real name is Football then.  Yes?

Also, well American Football.... since American Football is derived from the other Footballs and ahs always been called football.

Assosiation football is a descendent of Football.

It is also an offshoot.  Simply study the history of the game and you'll realize that.  The football of old was nothing more then a genus.  Not a Species

Football evolved into Foobtall Rugby - Football Assosiation if you were to look at it from a biological perspective.

You should really read about the history of a sport you claim to like.

Bolded: I agree, USA would be a top 10 team. What is stupid is saying that if Americans concentrated only on football, it wouldn't be a contest because Americans are better at sport. 

I actually believe USA will win a world cup in the next 30-40 years.

the ridiculous horn blowing isn't coccer's fault but AFRICA,its bad that NFL isn't liked anywhere else so people don't even consider staging it as a big even t like WORLD CUP

EXPLOSIVE PLAYERS NOT IN FOOTBALL?-Have you ever seen ROONEY,RONALDO,MESSIS,TEVEZ,NANI,RYAN GIGGS,TORRES,etc play.they are pretty explosive

and football requires skills,thinking and passing with startegies not like mindless running and wrestling like American football

also FOOTBallers are more physically fitter than American footballers

physicality includes stamina,speed,agility,balance,etc - english football has all of this

AMERICAN FOOTBALL is more of muscled wrestling and that is not sport,sport is known more to be played with rules

I think you have to look at the bigger picture.

It's close to knockout rounds and a nil-nil draw puts a dent in both teams advancing. The last tournaments finalist might not go past the first round. I guess you need to know the history and ins and outs of the game. Who you want to lose or win, how it suits your teams chances, personal biases.

that said if it's a really dull game then it will test the patiences of the most ardent fan.

I just find soccer/futbol/whatever boring. You can go an entire game and only see 1 or 2 goals scored.

We do and it pisses me off. That stereotype is true and a negative one
