Let's get this straight. Soccer used to be Association Football so named to distinguish it from Rugby Union Football, the word soccer comes from an abbreviation of association. So, any game like Union that combines running and kicking a ball is traditionally called football, like Rugby League football, American football and AFL.

Its always been called football. Because its played 95% of the time with your feet. Football is run by FIFA not SIFA. You have to be a special sort of feckwit to call a game thats played 95% of the time with your hands, football.Let's get this straight.

This is one thing I've noticed with Green Teefs... overall, they're not that fond of smack talk/showboating. I like both, but they prefer their boxes to be humble, like Ricky Hatton pretended he was.
