THAT is why Americans hate soccer.

^^ Manchester United.

[Infinite-Possibilities]

Maybe them too

Anyway isn't "The Red Devils" the nickname for the Belgian National Team?

Yes. AC Milan are also called the Devils or the Milanese Devil, but United are the only ones with an actual red devil badge.

United!

Why do they play it like that? 20 morons all chasing the ball in a 30 square-foot area.

These are the wrong people.

In the wrong place.

Interesting. Is there one for bowling to a left-handed batsman?

[VJC]

That makes no bloody sense.

Oh, we can make the same basic diagram even more confusing (even with an explanation underneath)...

I don't understand Football or Cricket either, besides they should have played Rugby, it’s like American Football but without all the padding, a proper mans sport!

[Linda06]

It's called Fitbaw

Exactly

I'm surprised nobody can understand the issue we Brits in particular have with the football/soccer thing. It's pretty much the same as the whole 'Brit' thing now I think about it (apparently, there's no such thing as English any more, and when you start saying you're English some goody goodies like to call you a racist). But my point is that it's like being called by a name that isn't yours all the time. Your name is your name and you tend to become rather attached to it. Football is a national institution in a way few other things are. It's one of the few sports in the world where the 50th best team in the country can attract 20,000+ people in a country where live sport is becoming increasingly expensive (£25 to watch third division sport? odd).

Anyways, there's not much hope for America if they can't love cricket.

But I'm still awaiting an answer as to where the ball came from. I suppose one of the interesting sellling points with footy is that you can make a pitch out of a couple of jumpers and a ball out of quite a variety of items if you're creative enough. It's a sport you can play for free.
