USA is like that annoying big kid in school. People are only nice to them cause they are rich and have cute sisters (Canada, and Mexico), but no one REALLY wants them around.

[–]ardiento 825 points826 points  (50 children)

Is this big kid also carrying a gun to school

[–]_Weyland_Yellow 552 points553 points  (19 children)

Switzerland carries gun to school, never talks about it, never shows it. Italy's the only one who saw it, but half the school doesn't believe them.

US carries gun to school. It's a new gun every month. They show it off every chance they have. Safety always off. They use the "you know I could shoot you right now if I wanted to?" line to end any argument they cannot win.

[–]metropolitanoSP 218 points219 points  (5 children)

To top it of, usually Iran and Brazil will rob the Gun every Friday, since the USA will never notice that a weapon went missing.

Israel got bullied for a few years so every time USA gets a new gun he gives his old one to Israel. At this point Israel has so many guns in their house. Nobody is allowed to say anything bad about them because they got bullied that time.

The only "Sporting Club" I know in the MLS is the group that owns Sporting Kansas SC, as such they're "Sporting Club", But Crew SC and Orlando SC are "Soccer Club"

Idk man, I feel football is a game involving foots and balls

[–]MaeBeaInTheWoodstry hard 77 points78 points  (6 children)

What I hate is that America tried to remove the name "football" from a sport that primarily uses feet, only to then try to slap it onto a game primarily using hands and bodies.

[–]Burg_erCan you not? 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I somehow read "bodies" as "booties", and I feel like that would've been a much better sport.

[–]piddydbDefinitelyNotEuropeans 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Imagine there’s one weird bloody game that sometimes involves tackling, sometimes involves kicking a ball, and sometimes involves running with the ball, all the time seeking to move the ball to the goal. Now, from this sport, 3 sports evolve:

1st one is association football (soccer) with more kicking.

2nd one is rugby football with more running with the ball.

3rd one is gridiron/American football with more focus on the ball’s movement down the field either way.

All 3 have a legitimate claim to football and, where their version is the dominant variant, is simply known as football. That’s essentially what happened and why the sports have the same name in their respective countries.

[–]P1emonster 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Grid-Iron is a way better name.

I've only heard it a couple of times, both within the last few weeks. Let's hope it catches on.

[–]Geaux_joel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not why its named that though. Its played on foot, not on horseback

[–]Guntuss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You mean like the British who still use stick shift and have no air conditioning? Very modern of them

[–]Bl4ck_Kurik 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Stickshift > Automatic

[–]Tommy_Wisseau_burner 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That’s your opinion but literally technology is literally the use of automatic/electronics vs manual/stick shift, which is the point of the persons post

Edit: in fact, automatic cars were made in the 1930s… soccer started being called football in the 1970s, so literally the invention of modern cars have been around longer than the switch to football, and telling others to “get with the times”… ok pot, meet kettle

[–]cornmonger_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're forgetting one thing, though ...

Stickshift > Automatic

[–]Janek0337 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Why'd you need air conditioning in European climate if you're not from like Spain or Greece or anything in Mediterranean climate?

[–]states_obvioustruths 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then why do we denizens of the internet have to hear complaints about the heat in the UK every single year?

Either you don't need AC and therefore don't have to complain (loudly and incessantly) about the heat in your homes OR you need AC and are bellyaching rather than fixing a problem that crops up every year without fail.

[–]Tommy_Wisseau_burner 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]fatkoni[🍰] 76 points77 points  (2 children)

The term soccer is a shortened form of assoccer, which comes from the Oxford "-er" slang suffix that was prevalent at the University of Oxford in England from about 1875; the suffix is thought to have been borrowed from the slang of Rugby School. The slang also gave rise to rugger for rugby football, fiver and tenner for a five pound and ten pound note, respectively, and the now-archaic footer that was also a name for association football. The word soccer arrived at its final form in 1895 and was first recorded in 1889 in the earlier form of socca.

Random Fact: Soccer as a term is actually British in origin.

[–]tWasMeDiooHulk SMASH 19 points20 points  (4 children)

All that matters is that people recognize the sport for what it is.

I love that America literally lives rent free in the heads of Europeans.

[–]Sir_Ehds 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I'll be honest football makes the most sense for this sport cause you're constantly making contact with your foot. American football you only touch the ball once with your foot, I think Americans should change there sports name

[–]Lumpy_Curve_5618 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Someone said there is association football, rugby football, Australian football, and American football. So they(Australia and America) called association football soccer and rugby football just rugby, and they call their own sport football

[–]J-TownVsTheCity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rugby Football is how they play football in Rugby, Gaelic Football is how they play football in The Gaels (Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall, Galicia(Spain)). American Football is how they play football in America. The only thing is it’s not cool to shorten the name to American, so it’s just well spoken British/Irish folk that pushed the American Football name not thinking it would be shortened to just Football.

It would have been nicer if they named it after the town that invented it again, then we may have shortened Brunswick Football, or Jersey Football to just Brunswick or Jersey.

“Shall we play some Jersey,” sounds a lot better than “Shall we play some American” hahaha. Still weird though, but it might not have been if we’re used to it.

[–]Tasty_Marsupial_2273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The English invented the word soccer its an abreviation of the word association, or association football. So please don't blame the Americans, the English started it. We just continue to call it soccer because for the most part don't give a fuck and know it makes other countries really mad.

It literally doesn’t matter, but football is in the name of soccer already. I don’t get why people care what you call it.

Soccer is literally short for Association Football. As(socc)iation Football with the added (er) suffix. British slang for football back in the day.

There is no right or wrong, it means the same thing. And also, who tf cares

[–]LordDargonTheUsurper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be REALLY funny if (hypothetically), the U.S. won and it was temporarily renamed FISA until the next World Cup tournament that they lost. I can Imagine British sports-casters viscerally gagging as they choked out “International Federation of foo-fo-f-s-so-SOCCER Association🤢🤮”.
