Oh, please, could you guys do some research before you start saying that "soccer" is the "Real" football? Although it has been around much longer and has traceable roots, it was not until the mid 1800's that it was officially called "Football" and had any legitimate organization outside of backyard pastimes. By the time the sport was introduced to the united states' popular culture, gridiron football, or "American football" was already popular, so we used the nick name "Soccer" to describe it that the english had also used at the time to call the sport. Neither is correct, and neither is certainly the "Real" football. Its all relative to what people around you call it. Thats ridiculous to accuse that. And its also arrogant and rude.
