Lets Play 'Pro-Action Football'!

I uncovered my old Pro-Action Football game that I had not played since some time in the 1990s, and brought it round to Craig's house for a bit of old-school fun. It ended up being quite hilarious!

i'm going to go ahead and ask, anyone know why it's called soccer here in america? and what football (american) is called everywhere else? i'm asking out of curiousity, not a sports fan myself.

@drockman92 I honestly don't know ^^

Well, at least you guys don't have to worry about your players running aimlessly around a loud vibrating sheet metal field like we do in the U.S.

[KeenyFox]

@AngelBearOH Or some summit revolving around disorganised playing!

Play VIDEO GAME "Soccer". Do you have "RCSH" over in the UK? I'm ALSO pretty SURE you guys have "Pro Evolution" (probably as some OTHER name!!).

[KeenyFox]

@MajorLeaguerAnubius Not sure what RCSH is. We did get Pro Evo but I haven't played it before.

@drockman92

the reason why is simple enough that you almost gave yourself the answer: outside of america its called "american football" what you know often simply as football. americans started to call it soccer to clearly differ betwween em. the more interessting question here is: WHY do americans call their football (as far as I know the ball is mostly carried by hands) "football" not something else. XD I mean: "our" football obviously is named so coz the ball is mostly played by foot XD

@KeenyFox thanks for the honesty :). i would look it up myself, but it's not too high in my priorities.
