Well, after someone wondering if there's a list for Americans, I think we can make our own...

Anyone can enter, so go at it! I'll start...

You might be an American...

You get upset when foreigners call it football and not 'soccer'.

This is clearly not a thread for me then!
Come on you crazy Amercians, it's "foot-ball". The rest of the world knows it, why not just yield to the majority on this one?

...if you recognize the fact that the rest of the world's opinion is completely irrelevant.

...if you think that a "Lorry" is some new rap singer.

...if Monty Python amuses you, but you aren't sure why.

...if your money is only two-tone.

...if your first phone call of the day is to your broker.

Some of us in America just call it The Beautiful Game.

Well that is until those English rowdys take to the streets. Or the Columbians off one of their players for an own goal in the World Cup.

If you can take advantage of a situation in some way, it's your duty as an American to do it. Why should the race always be to the swift or the jumble to the quick-witted? Should they be allowed to win merely because of the gifts God gave them? Well, I say cheating is the gift man gives himself!

It's football for the simple reason that you don't use your hands during normal play (apart from throw ins and if you're name is Maradona). You control the ball with your feet, shoot the ball with your feet, take free kicks with your feet etc etc, not catch the ball in your hands and run with it.

Of course, only giving it three days might have something to do with the lack of entries. . .

... if you kick ass and the rest of the world sucks. (and foot-ball {soccer} isn't a real sport. It's just a brawl waiting to happen for the reason that they're just really bored of anything else.)

Is it defeat or victory that waits in the dark?

You might be an American if you think American football is an original sport and not a glorified version of rugby.
