so...how is everyone around this part of the internet enjoying the beating EA has been getting...

Australian rules and International rules football. There's also rugby too but I'm not sure if people call that football, in my state it isn't that popular anyway...if people are talking about footy in this state it's AFL (Aussie rules). In the last couple of decades a lot more people are calling soccer "football" again but it's still called soccer mostly to distinguish it from the more popular sport (AFL).

Afaik it wasn't the yanks that started calling football "soccer" anyway.

I miss bethesda from that point too ... when they had a boner for terminator and their games actually worked (mostly).
Infact running their new games on a snes might actually get their engines to work

what an idiotic argument of semantics that is.

whatever, i live in the US so i call the FIFA sport soccer. don't really care what the rest of the world calls it. though that does raise a question: outside the US, what does the box art for FIFA say? football or soccer? same for the NFL box art, does that still say football or something else.

edit: wait... "Afaik it wasn't the yanks that started calling football "soccer" anyway." ...what?

Gridiron.



I believe it was the British that called football "soccer". It isn't a sport that's older than other football codes in other countries afaik.

[treos]

yeah, i see that now after some looking around on youtube. britain... well, i guess i have an interesting bit of info to use next anyone tries telling me it's only called soccer here in the US.

[deadlegion]

As I said it's mostly still called soccer here too (in my state anyway), that's what happens when another football code is dominant.
Aussie rules has been played since about the mid 19th century.

[Crash-Headroom]

Yup britain used the term then started to abandon it round about the 60s/70s. From then on it was a slow decline into just football. Secrets out :'( now the shameing begins...
