The Football Thread

[howard_the_duck]

Isa lang ang football! ung iba..eh kathang isip lang ng mga yankee-doodles.....pano kaya naging football ung NFL eh hawak nila ung bola?...medyo sideshow lang ung kicker nila.... :upside:

ang "foot" sa football hindi ibig sabihin sisipain mo... "foot" means you won't have to ride a horse (hence play on foot) when playing the game

I still can't get the logic. Why can't they just call it throwball or tackleball?

soccer is actually an american term - short for association football ( assoc football then later on soccer) to differentiate if from american football .. (a game they made up because they found controlling a ball with their feet too complicated)

 

peace!

actually the NFL boys acknowledge their sport comes from rugby... just that rugby doesn't allow forward passes.

 

yung mga aussies may sariling version din ng football... pinakaexciting sa lahat ng versions, ang taas pa ng score

Nope! Rugby lang ang tawag sa sport nito..ung ibang derivative still retains the word "rugby"...i.e. Rugby Union, Rugby league tsaka Aussie rules Rugby.....never will this sport be remotely linked to football....Rugby players hate the histrionics of the footballers...(rolling sevral times when bump, squirming in pain as if they have been stabbed when tackled)

No mate. It's still rugby. Wala naman Football world cup, national football league ang rugby ha.

 

Basta ang mga Americano talaga mahilig magmagaling. Ang cricket ginawang baseball ang Rugby/Futbol ginawang American Football. :thumbsdownsmiley:

actually all of the football games are related... actually most of the "goal" games are ultimately descended to football, even basketball

bakit uso ang "A.F.C." (Association Football Club e.g. Sunderland AFC) sa NE England? Kasi uso ang rugby doon na ang tawag din ay football. kaya nga naghiwalay ang rugby from assoc. kasi nag-away sila kung dapat bang hawakan ang bola

 

then the americans found rugby too be to boring so they allowed the forward pass... ayun, NFL na (may offside rule din sa NFL)... canadians invented their own version of the american game... CFL na

 

aussies loved cricket too much they have no rectangular stadiums so they invented aussie rules... IMHO this is the most exciting football game, i used to watch this in the australia network before our cable stopped carrying that channel (you won't have to stay awake at 3am to watch live games )

 

then rugby had union and league... dunno how league is played though... union pa.

 

the irish even have their own football, pero mas kamukha daw sa aussie rules.

There will only be one Football for me and approx 50 million people in the world. The one you play with a round-spherical ball in which you can't touch te ball unless you are the goal keeper. Anyone else disagree with this?

 

 

 

Say it to the Hooligans.

hey when i was a kid football was baseball but you'd have to kick the plastic ball... not appropriate for muddy areas where you can't cheat

Ang tagal ko na dito sa England at nde ko pa naririnig na tinatawag nila na football ang rugby...bakit kaya?...kse nde football ang rugby!! :upside:

bukod sa AFC uso rin ang United (i.e. Man U, Sheffield U, Newcastle U, Oxford United, Leeds United, )..dahil united ang football at rugby??...I dont think so

 

If I may have a take on the rugby and NFL thing: the yankees found rugby too complicated so they careated their own bastardised version....pati cricket na ang daming rules...5 years ko na pinapanood nde ko pa rin ma perfect ung rules...iba kse pag test match, O.D.I. at 20-20...

 

Ung Aussie rule is just another variant ng rugby...nde pa rin ito football....nde ko masyado alam to kse nde ako nakakapanood

Rugby Union...eto ung version ng napapanood nyo sa Rugby world cup (Jonny Wilkinson, Habana of South Africa, "caveman" of France)..merong "maul" at talagang daganan...mas maraming palyers on the field

Rugby league...off shoot ng Union..started in the North of England...kse they want to be paid to play...mas konti ung players, nde nagdadaganan..walang "maul"

 

Gaelic football...may goal na pang football at rugby...pwede hawakan ang bola pero kailangan pa ring sipain ang bola ng paa! Saw a match once and na weido-han ako..hehe
