i think it's really only called Football because apart from the goal keeper-
you have to use the feet to move the ball around--for the most part any way-- you can use your head or chest in fact any other part of your anatomy other than your hands and arms--

nothing too fancy--i dare say Football seemed the obvious choice for a name !!!:hmm:

gawd knows what it was callled back in the middle ages when it was hundreds of people kicking a sheeps bladded about

Think of it: if looking at the number of believers worldwide, soccer is the most important and dominant world religion of all time, second to absolutely no one...Saw a docu yesterday about Pelé. Beauty in motion. Fascination pure. Unbelievable. Can there ever be a second soccer artist like him? Maradona was a fully loaded truck, compared to him (and an looser by character anyway)

Oh no, another topic arguing about who´s s better: Maradona or Pele.

But the only thing better than watching Pele play was watching Pele and Garrincha play together from all the accounts I've read and the footage that I have seen. Has there ever been a better combination? I doubt it but I'm sure the more qualified football (soccer) nuts could advise on that. If memory serves me right, Brazil never lost a match when both Pele and Garrincha played together.

well merry England did their no world famous intepretation of the "uncertainty principle" in their friendly with hungary last night--(didn't look like a friendly tho)

it goes like this--

can we be bothered?
well just for a little while --
oh dear were not scoring any goals--
oh well---
there's allways the second half--
oh heck we've scored how did that happen--
oh heck they've scored -who let them on the pitch--
blimey we've scored again --who'd have thought that was going to happen--
hey were england give us the cup
we can make any game seem like hard work--

Wow, 100% agreed. I know the brazilian soccer quite well, and I can say Garrincha and Pelé together are simply incredible.
