World championship in Africa this year.

Looking forward to seeing this years World Cup. Go Australia!

In his best American voice...Thats not Football its Soccer! Football is the NFL!

Ehem... :stare: NFL...? What's that? OH, I remember, we made it giving up in Europe in 2007, after it lived for some miserable years without leaving an impression. :yawn:

Now, do you know what the DFB is? It is the biggest organised sports association on the planet: the German Football Association. :salute: People may not know what the Superbowl is, what is absolutely understandable :O:, but all over the planet they know what FIFA's continental and World Championships are.

Last but not least, there are only 320 million US-Americans, but there are 485 million EU-people, 390 million Southamericans, 1 billion Africans, and 4 billion Asiens. :cool:

So when almost 6 billion people tell you 320 million Bowling-fans that FOOTBALL is the name of the game, cute tiny bowl-playing America better believes it...! :shucks:

Yes - home! :O:

:woot:

Danmark! Danmark! Danmark!

This is genius!
Finaly, they have a fitting name for it.

The only other possible option would be HuddleBowl.
(They do more talking than playing).

HANDEGG!

I love it!

Another possibility would be CRASHBALL!

The europeans will be looking forward to meeting your countrymen with extreme relish :O:

Well than lets just put our American football players on the field against your football players and who ever lives through it can claim the name:yep:

All Joking aside why do they not call it Soccer? Isn't that the official name of the sport?

Soccer is a colloquialism. The official name is Association Football from the laws originally drawn up by the UK based Football Association in 1863 and now goverened by FIFA.
