No soccer isn't sounding good. It is the origin of all football codes. What would you call Gridiron then and rugby. It is legally called football in this country now, if you look at the a league website you will not find soccer written once other then referring to the socceroos (lets not get me started about that ridiculous name).

Why does everyone think they are english teachers. Screw your proper spelling, use of commas etc. etc. lol I get enough of that crap at home with my partner thinking she is a english teacher.

Football in the US is gridiron! That is why they call it soccer too! But the pint is.... Who cares! It is known as soccer in Australia, so why would you get upset at it being called soccer on this site??
And the correct English comment was a joke aimed at you! You want to correct the wording used on the site, but can't even use the right word in your sentence!!!

Can I ask why you care so much? you've posted 6 replies.

5 of them were just jokes mate! Only 1 was aimed at the question!

I really don't care, but I find it funny that someone will get upset about the name of the forum, when it is the name it is known as in Aus!!

Using some common sense here, can you imagine the confusion and number of misplaced posts by calling these forums "Football" ?

If you don't like the naming, i'll just remove the "Soccer" forums and put them in with the "All Other Sports" forums. Would that make you happy ?

As it's only one unhappy camper that doesn't like the name 'Soccer' for the title of these particular forums, keeping them under their own 'Soccer' name would be mighty.

i think the point is that soccer is just as legit a name as football. and when in rome...? you say football over here and you have to clarify.
in saying that, itll always be football to me.

sidenote: its not called gridiron. they play on a gridiron. its american football.

You must be female drob because women can't ever let anything go/slide. I wasn't aware that i needed to have everything spelt correctly on this site.
I apologise to anyone that was offended that I didn't take that extra few seconds to spell check my post.
Now if your such an English expert then you should only want it called football everywhere.
Thanks for the side note sgt_pepper. Sad that I wrote that because I was only explaining that to my partner a couple of nights ago.
Aussie rules = footy, soccer = football. I believe Australian's have the ability to be able differentiate between footy and football. Only the yanks call it soccer because they call gridiron football, that always makes me laugh considering they might kick the ball half a dozen times a game.
Don't worry Adelaidecrowsaregay I wouldn't expect a cow supporter to able to understand lol.

I would love that more than life itself!

A quick history lesson Stern Blend - if you go right back to the very early days, Association Football was also known as Soccer in the UK. There is also a long-running and very sucessful tv show in the UK called Soccer AM (featuring the delicious Helen Chamberlain!) and they seem to be able to differentiate easily enough.

Perhaps next time contact Graham privately with constructive criticism rather than jumping up and down like a sex-crazed Orangutan!
