@spectral_shadow hi shadow how are you! I didn't realize I wasn't following you sorry! 😬😁
@Wetrix Hey, i'm fine, just making plans for a football game in the snow(doubt it will happen).
It's ok np 🙂
Follow
@spectral_shadow football as in UK football? Or American football? 🏈⚽️😀
I never understood why Americans called theirs football 🤔 The only guy that's even aloud to kick it is the qb 😅
Euro seems obvious. Foot, ball. Kick ball with foot! 👣
@Wetrix
Did you know that american football has been called football longer than soccer has been called "football" and it used to be called "soccer" worldwide until relatively recently?
It's because of the history of the sports. They both come from the same sport. The word "soccer" comes from "association football" which is the original name for that type of football game, of which there were many. In the US and Canada (before they were independent), these games were played by universities and there was pretty much a different game and ruleset for each university, the more popular form was standardized by them for games against each other and that was the origin of Canadian and American gridiron football that we know of today.
Also the QB doesn't kick lol, and technically anyone can kick but the teams keep a specialty kicker to increase odds of scoring on a kick.

@spectral_shadow
@mistermonster @Wetrix well,a simple wiki search says otherwise.
As a note I didn't read the whole article 'cuz I'm playing LoL Clash.
Also in the modern world football(soccer) wins as popularity by far and we adapt (e.g nowdays we call all kinds of 'programs' as apps)
@Wetrix Yep normal football, I'm from EU and I agree with you about USA's 'football'
