OK..so like the title says this thread is all about soccer.

You can talk all about soccer in this thread. Things to start you off might be:

1. Your favorite league/best league.

2. Your favorite player/best player.

3. Your favorite country and club.

I could keep going but i think thats enough for now. Remember you can talk about anything you wanterd realted 2 soccer; it doesnt have 2 be related 2 these topics. I will start off by saying:

1. My favorite league is La liga.

2. My favorite player is Messi and personally i think he is the best player in the world as well. He deserves the balon de oro and the fifa world player of the year award. I like quite a few other players as well...the first to come to mind are ibrahimovic and henry.

3. My favorite country is Ecuador. Secondary countries are Spain and Brazil. My favorite club is Fc Barcelona.

Now its your guys turn.Have fun talking about soccer, and remember to keep it nice and clean.

There is actually a thread for this already.

Whats soccer?

Do you mean football ?

Fun fact football is actually more vague term then soccer.

Since football originally was a group of sports instead of just one that included Rugby...

and that Soccer was a british term that was created to be short for "Assosiation Football" so there would be an abreviation since "Assosiation" sounds stupid and "Football" would be an incorrect usage.

The incorrect usage won out... however it's usage is still somewhat incorrect.  To feign ignorance of a more correct term isn't witty.

Am talking about the one that i play with my foot

Btw: whats the difference between Rugby & American football (other than the body armor) ?

The entymology of football is undecided.  There are two explinations argued.  Consider this.  Football is the name of some sports where kicking the ball is Illegal... this was before calling Assosiation, football became standard.

The real origin of the word likely stems from the fact that Nobles played their games on horses.  While peasents played their games with balls... on foot.

As for the difference between Rugby and American Football...

You may as well ask what the difference is between Baseball and Crickett.

Though i actually don't know how to play Crickett i assume they're very different games.

The main difference though.  Football is a lot more dangerous... that's why they wear the padding.  Football players on average suffer far more serious injuries.  Less minor injuries due to the padding... but if the padding weren't there people would be dieing.

Even then American football may end up loseing a lot of it's popularity once the head trauma research is finalized.  It's chilling stuff.
