        1. @scoot Isn't football/soccer really popular in England?

            1. @scoot Ah, the Canadian equivalent is hockey. Everyone here loves hockey.

              1. @northernnarwhal I don't know why people are interested. For me the World Cup just means at least one TV Channel is now "FOOTBALL CHANNEL" for a bit

                1. @scoot I follow it casually but I could care less. Also, is "football" the regularly used term there?

                  1. @northernnarwhal Yeah I've never heard and Englishman say "Soccer".

                    1. @scoot I honestly think "football" is much better term. It makes mores sense. It's a game where you kick the ball with your foot. Most of American football involves you carrying the ball unless you're punting it. I do use the term "soccer" more often though, mostly to avoid confusion and to not come off as pretentious.

                        Thursday, 19-Jun-14 21:43:47 UTC from web
                        1. @redenchilada Your guess is as good as mine

                          Thursday, 19-Jun-14 21:45:44 UTC from web
