Not all Americans say "soccer;" truth be told, I don't even know why there must
be that kind of distinction. American footbal rarely involves the feet, unless you speak of the
running...
That's exactly what they call it in the UK, "American rules football".
I remember watching the
Superbowl (live at 3 AM) with my uncle the year Bears won (with "The Fridge"). He was obsessed with the game
and as the only Yank in town it was my obligation to teach him the rules while watching it that season. He
said, "Is it always like this? Does one team just slaughter everyone else all season?"
I'm a
geek, not a jock. But, there I was acting as sports ambassador... Pfft!
