It was reported this morning that heart attacks increased 25% in GB after England was beaten by Argentina in the 1998 World Cup.

It would seem that soccer is dangerous and causes an unacceptable number of deaths.

Merry Christmas Toad & Lazs

Mazzy,

got that right ol boy, Footnall it is.

you yanks have got it backwards, you call football something that you throw, catch and run with.

hands is not a foot, well in the other english speaking countries it isn't, maybe an american thing.

We run with our feet carrying a ball, hence "football".

Who says the game must be called after the body part that is used to immediately propell the ball?

I would personally call it after the bodypart that decides which way the ball should be propelled - "headball" or more precisely "brainball".

soccer is one step up from kickball -

for those to wimpy for pads, to uncoordinated to bat and too short to dribble

Come on - brain is very important for sexual function and hand-eye coordination among other things...

I just did not want to go more specific than "brain". But if I did, who's to say I would call it "Frontal Cortex Ball"?

I can't believe that the "home office" is allowing this carnage to continue! It's an outrage.

Ok, well English is the result of 10% Latin(Romans), 5% Galic(Natives), about 70% German (Saxons), and a little French (Normans) mixed in for good measure. Which one were you refering too?

Be a man. Play Football American Style
