I miss winter.
Football's the noblest sport and that World Cup isn't until 2010. South Africa!

Soccer Football, Rugby Football, and American Football.

I count football as soccer, personally. Rugby is just rugby, and maybe I'd call american football football if I was in the States, but otherwise I'd just label it gridiron.

I don't think American Football should be called football, anyway. It isn't really kicked an awful lot, is it?

Soccer definitely deserves to be called football - just look at the game.

Oh that's awesome, Simatra. That's cool to hear...

They have their world cup this year too. Haven't won since 1987, the first one. Have a very good chance...
