Re: EURO 2008! The UEFA European Football Championship
saltwn, I understand that you have your favorite sports and I have mine.
I was just asking why do you call that NFL game a football when the players use hands.  Besides, the NFL thing looks very much like European rugby. So what does FOOTBALL have to do with all that? Can you explain it, please?

And like I said - that NFL game does NOT even look like football, it looks very much like European RUGBY. Rugby football, often just "rugby", may refer to a number of sports descended from a common form of football developed at Rugby School in England, United Kingdom. Rugby league, rugby union, American football and Canadian football are modern sports that originated from rugby football. Rugby league and rugby union are the only two sports referred to as "rugby" today. Rugby football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://whatsacraghead.files.wordpres...lltown-102.jpg

Re: EURO 2008! The UEFA European Football Championship
Soccer (which is "Football" in Europe and elsewhere) should be called "The game where the players act like they got shot out of a cannon then complains to the ref everytime an opponent gets within 10 yards of him" (Or for Europeans..."metres")...

But why do Americans use the European name for that NFL game? Can you come up with your own? How about American Rugby?
