My Shameless US Pride Thead

[BaconSoda]

The English invented this game and called it FOOTBALL - period.

I heard we developed a different dialect across the channel. I think you should just shutup and start badgering the Germans for not calling it football but instead calling it Fussball (and I do know quite a bit of German, before you jump on me). England didn't get everything right, you know.

See: Driving on the right side of the road (you can draw your own conclusions), maintenance of an empire, and articulation of consonants.

EDIT: I'm sorry for not laughing at this awesome joke about the English and this sport, but, seriously, it's not funny to even try and make fun of it. And the English only claim the game as their own because they standardized the rules. Any four year old could make up football. "Hey, lets not touch the ball with our hands!" It's just as easy as "The floor is lava!", if you weren't deprived as a child. Jeez Louise...
