There's my nationalism quota filled for the year.

Football makes far more sense as a name for the game anyway. Soccer? What the hell is that? Is it supposed to mean you should sock 'er? And why is the sport we Americans/Canadians call football called football? The foot barely comes into contact with the ball!

I think in North America, soccer be called football and football should be called "Bone Crunch Fun Time Extravaganza."
