Soccer is of British origin anyway. It comes from Association Football, but that may be an urban myth.

To distinguish it from Rugby football, which is like HandEgg but without the body armour.

Not to be confused with Australian Rules football which is a combination of Rugby union, Soccer, Aerial ping pong, American rules football with no body armour and played on an elliptical shaped paddock. A unique feature is the 4 pole goal arrangement .... allows you to get a point if you actually miss the goal ! .... you see its a politically correct game to cater for the kicking challenged

I see about a billion golf courses down there.

Bomb the lot! The Premier League is a showcase of what's wrong with football these days. Money money money greed, over commercialised crap.

Give me the Bundesliga any day.

I used to go to all the Aberdeen games in the SPL when I still lived in Scotland but that was just for crowd atmosphere it is a terrible league with Old Firm dominance ruining it, this is now happening in EPL, you won't see a newly promoted club winning the league like you do in the Bundesliga.

I'll get my coat now that I've stirred things up....
