I liked the picture that used photoshop to provide words and pointers to show the difference.

Foot + Ball, not Hand + Egg.

Not the one I originally saw, and too blurry, but it'll have to do, I guess.

I think America can rightfully claim the name the title of Football for our game for three primary reasons:

1. Neither sport uses their hands or feet only. In American Football players use their feet on several occasions, all of which are vital to the game (kick offs, field goals, extra points, punts, drop kicks). Soccer players on the other hand can and do use all kinds of other body parts besides their feet to move the ball. Soccer Goalies even get to use their *gasp*, hands to block shots on goal.

2. It's our language and in it we can call your sport anything we want. We darn sure aren't gonna call it "Fútbol" or ?وتبال* باز*ى* کردن* or Voetbal or Fußball or any other foreign name.

3. Soccer is a weenie sport played by Nancy Boy Drama Queens for the amusement of drunken fools who often go overboard and erupt into rioting and violence after important games because Soccer, and the Olympics, are the only remaining ways they can get away with relieving their pent up nationalistic tendencies without being called Fascists.
