dear betfair.ITS CALLED SOCCER

The germans call it fussball

is this a wind up? It's called f*cking football.

its called association football.ASSOCIATION.(ABB.SOCCER)

You have a brassneck brassneck

gaelic football is called peile which is the gaelic word for football, unfortuneatley its pronounced pell and not pele

The creeping gentrification of football.

American football is called football

I am truly shocked that the worlds largest betting organization can not even get the name of the sport correct.

its called Soccer

american football 95% of the time is play with the hands, 5% kicking

Proper football 95% of the time is played with the feet, throw ins, GK handling with 5%

I hth

All Ireland Football Championship which is GAA - thats football.

a sport were you have people diving for absolutely nothing is soccer (watch a game of hurling and real football (Gaelic football)) then you know why soccer is what is it, bunch of panzies play soccer...

What about rugby football.now that's tough football.

agree

Oh I forgot,we also have Australian rules football,which is the toughest of all football.

Brassneck is quite correct here.

A lot of people (the majority seemingly) have the idea that 'football'  - as per the game we discuss on this forum - was invented in 1860 odd and then all these other games came along later and called themselves football to cash in somehow . Rugby,NFL etc are just particular versions of football .Association Football is just a particular version too.

Football is just any game where it is legal to kick the ball.

aussie rules is for people that are not required to think much and are not quite good enough for Rugby.

wtf is soccer?

I don't give a toss about the history of the name...it's never been called soccer EVER in my lifetime and I'm half a century old...it's FOOTBALL and always will be...the only people who call it soccer are Yanks and morons.

hear hear

No guys. you are wrong.

Football has existed for hundreds of years and there were many different versions . In 1860 ish a group of clubs got together and agreed they would play the game only by a particular set of rules, so they formed a 'Football Association' that would play only by these FA rules .

People wonder why the 'Rugby Football Union' is so called as they think Rugby is the sport . But it isn't . Football is their actual sport , played by the football rules of Rugby School .

If you had a time machine and went back 200 years to an english village and showed them The Superbowl , and asked them wtf was going on , the people would say 'they are playing football' .

LMFAO...ur 04.22 post was right on the nail...splash splash

Maybe you should call it a dick measuring contest. My football is better than your football, rugby football is tough, aussie rules is tougher.....blah blah blah........It is only football if you go to the pub, walk there in the rain, get abused by a cockhead copper and then spend 90 minutes watching some bastard in black ruin your weekend. It used to require a wagon wheel and a bovril, but that is no longer compulsory. Anyone who calls it soccer is clearly a sodomite. There is no place for that sort of filth on here. Soccer....pfffft. You're a sick retard.

or a typical Man Utd fan....which means you live in Sydney or Tokyo.

HA HA HA,loops that don't even know the name of the game they watch

Hi guys,im new here,im deek from Portland Oregon,im told the mighty gunners are the best at this socker-ball.

You are new here yes TF? Why has it taken you so long to get round to posting

I limit my posts to 1 per year.

@toeknee fingerfoot Judging by your grasp of the game (gunners being the best at socker ball) it pleases us that you've now reached your quota for the year.

Years ago there was a TV highlights programme called Star Soccer and noone complained. Then people heard about America and that they called it soccer so decided we should only call it football - and wore this as some sort of badge of honour.

jeff stelling has show on sky tv called soccer Saturday,i don't think jeffs a yank.

Betfair should employ petrus to tell everybody the rules of this betfair football,are you allowed play a gubber or a torpedo punt,i know these are not allowed in soccer.come on petrus explain the rules of this betfair football.

just after hearing that there is a game called kick football.

Did you know soccer started in a town called rugby.
