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 your money is only two-tone.

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.

I had expected more participation...at least from more americans... Oh well, First of Two is the winner.

4 strikes against me...someday I'll come up with a decent com....someday

Posted by The First One (Member # 35) on :

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

Posted by Jeff Raven (Member # 20) on :

Oh god!! I feel so stupid! I thought I started this a while ago...

Quick, someone just kick me...

Keep entering, though!

... 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?

Posted by Orion Syndicate (Member # 25) on :

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

You might be a U.S. citizen if you refuse to accept the fact that "American" is not a synonym for "U.S. citizen."

You might be an American if your name is Jose and you sell beads at a stand in Guadelejara Mexico.

You might be an American if you say "eh" at the end of every sentence, and live in vancouver canada.

You might be an American if your name is Fidel Castro and you smoke cuban cigars.

You might be an American if your favorite college football team is Notre Dame, you love to sit in front of the tv and drink beer, and shout obscenities at the opposing team, and ....

You might be American if you think that Jenifer Lopez is a good singer or that what Ricky Martin sings is Latin Music.

You might be American if you worry about being naked with a bunch of guys in a shower or that your idea of a relationship includes your girlfriend's sisters.

You might be American if you like shooting small animals with your shotgun and call it exercise or you worried wether your computer was Y2K compliant.
