  1. .....and now that Becham is in the US, I see that the media is once again trying to jam soccer down our throat. They tried it when the World Cup was played here and it didn't work then either. It's a boring sport with no action and only pre teens play it only because their parents think it's "hip."


  2. Well you've to go back all the way to 1869 when Princeton played Rutgers in a game called football since they used customized rules borrowed from the London Football Association.

    The version they played was known as the inaugural soccer football game. Played on a outside field 120 yards longX75 yards wide involving 20 players per side. You could only advance by kicking or batting it with feet, hands, heads, or sides.Each goal was worth one point. This version of Soccer Football disappeared as it was replaced by American Football.

    Over the next 7 years  American schools all along the east coast  developed and molded their own versions of American Football that was different then Rugby. It became very popular much more than Soccer (Football) which became more of an ethnic immigrant game.

    1876-Walter Camp became known as the "Father of American Football" has he played a major role in the first written rules of American Football. Over time further rule changes where made such as the forward pass in 1906.

    In Canada they have their version of Canadian Football. Australia has Australian Rules Football. Ireland has Gallic Football. All games involve both kicking and using the hands.

  3. All  20 players  except 2 goal keepors of both opposing teams should play with legs .

  4. idk

  5. blah, blah, blah
