Craig Ferguson talks about football (soccer)

Another shortie. As Europe is all about football (soccer for Americans) lately, I remembered this very short video from his second year on the Late Late Show. By the way, I completely agree with him (as if I wouldn't agree to whatever he says!

No, actually I wouldn't, he needs to support his statements to make me believe him and agree with what he says.

On the other hand... he's awesome, so who cares?!)
Go, Craig! xD


No, I really do agree with Craig.

It would be a lot easier if Americans could just call it handegg and football... Like it's supposed to be. There is no foot nor a ball in American Football..

[Liusila]

@sh0werp0wer They do kick it sometimes, although I'd adore the name 'handegg' : D

[Liusila]

You better explain what you mean by that...

[foreversapphire]

Plus, he calls it soccer because his audience is mostly American. D:

[thestranded]

Well, the program is broadcast primarily in America... which means he's going to have to call it soccer lest the football fans get in a tizzy, right? =P

Association Football was first organized into leagues in the 1800s in England, so if Americans, Canadians, Austrailians, and some South Africans call the game "soccer", it's because we were taught so by the British. The two names were interchangeable in England until the 1970s when it began being universally called "Football." By that time these other countries already had sports named Football and we weren't going to change those names because some want to be linguistically schizophrenic.

@sh0werp0wer

the ball is kicked quite often in football FOOT

"A ball is a round, usually spherical but sometimes ovoid, object with various uses" BALL

have fun watching boring dive-grass

[ruthio1]

its fuuny how americans say football is boring yet they play a much more boring version of rugby in american football where they decide to stop for 5 minutes after every tackle and they also play baseball where they dont even hit the ball for 10 minutes at a time lol

@sh0werp0wer Well American Football is derivative from Rugby (Football) which are both derivative from an earlier build of football/soccer. I hear it was originally called Grid Iron Football but for whatever reason they dropped the first part. To make things more confusing there's also Canadian (American) Football.

I personally wouldn't really like it if it was called handegg, but mainly just because from what Ive seen it seems to be a derogatory joke by Brits to call it "handegg".
