I guess European football would be a designation that can make happy everyone, and avoid any confusion.
Of course in places in wich the american or australian football is inexistent ( like Argentina) that is not necessary.

Perhaps reference should be American Football vs Football. As the later is truely global.

I'll take American Football or Rugby. Games should be decided by violence.

Well, in soccer (football in Argentina) is forbidden to take the ball in hands, so, I found more proper call it football. Other sports allows to players use their hands.

You never saw a soccer match? I remember a match between Germany and Scotland, with many German players ending up wounded outside the field

Football it is.

Aussie Rules is Aussie Rules.

Gaelic football is Gaelic football.

American football is American football.

Rugby is, well, rugby. Meatheads running around holding on to a ball like a special kid with a teddy bear.

You can't have the "World game" and call it European football.

Looks like it was just a slow news day anyway...

Hockey. Except the professional team from Minnesota, they have been stinking it up lately. Thank goodness for the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament next week!!!

I used to love to play American football. It is an institution in high schools around the states. But I am fascinated with European football, and the World Cup. I used to have the Fox Soccer channel and could always catch a good match. I really like Manchester United and Madrid. I would love to learn more about the teams you all might like and why.
