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?

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.

Should they be allowed to win merely because of the gifts God gave them? Well, I say cheating is the gift man gives himself! ~C. Montgomery Burns

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.

... 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?
