I would think the DS Lite would get dirty really easily..

Lol. Very funny, that France kicking Brazil rabbit.

And I agree that the DS that chap is holding is a bit too clean considering the environment…!

You called it “football” lol

Is it normal that we see the smoke machine ?

Got to love Football fever, even bunnies aren’t immune.

Now to wait for the World Cup Bunnie celebration, where they show how they can really dance.

One time my DS fat fell out of my pocket into some mud.

:(

I’m glad it was referred to as “football” and not “soccer”.

Well, if I’m talking about it with a bunch of Americans, I’ll say Soccer. However, since I try to follow the sport as much as possible I end up reading a ton of British sites and following it that way. So, it’s more natural for me to say Football. Also helps that I don’t follow and don’t care about American Football.

They also call it Soccer in Ireland and Austrailia I believe, because they both have their own forms of Football.

“Football” makes so much more sence than “Soccer”.

I mean, what defines “Soccer”? You can only use your feet, thus FOOTball.

But American Football? All you use your feet for is field goals and running! They shoulda called it “Tackleball” or something like that!

So much ignorance. Go read up how American football started and see why its called football. While you’re at it see what soccer actually means and where it came from. Also American football is also known as Gridiron.

NoBullet… Why don’t you enlighten us? I’m not sure where to find the meaning behind these words, but I sure am curious.

While it is widely believed that the word football, or “foot ball”, originated in reference to the action of a foot kicking a ball, there is a rival explanation, which has it that football originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe, which were played on foot.[1] These games were usually played by peasants, as opposed to the horse-riding sports often played by aristocrats. While there is no conclusive evidence for this explanation, the word football has always implied a variety of games played on foot, not just those that involved kicking a ball. In some cases, the word football has been applied to games which have specifically outlawed kicking the ball. (See football (word) for more details.)

All football games involve scoring with a spherical or ellipsoidal ball (itself called a football), by moving the ball into, onto, or over a goal area or line defended by the opposing team. Many of the modern games have their origins in England, but many peoples around the world have played games which involved kicking and/or carrying a ball since ancient times.

The word “football”, when used in reference to a specific game can mean any one of those described above. Because of this, much friendly controversy has occurred over the term football, primarily because it is used in different ways in different parts of the English-speaking world. Most often, the word “football” is used to refer to the code of football that is considered dominant within a particular region.

In most English-speaking countries, the word “football” usually refers to Association football, also known as “soccer” (the name was originally a slang abbreviation of Association). Of the 45 national FIFA affiliates in which English is an official or primary language, only three (Canada, Samoa and the United States) use “soccer” in their name, while the rest use football (although the Samoan Federation actually uses both). New Zealand Soccer changed its name to Football New Zealand in May 2006. [5] In Australia, the governing body’s renaming and increased usage of “football” rather than “soccer” (the name used by most Australians) has caused some controversy as the word football is traditionally used in reference to Australian rules football and rugby league. It should be noted, however, that members of the Australian association football team are still known as the “Socceroos”.

HA! you can see the smoke machine on the soccer field!

(I don’t wanna get into a “soccer” vs. “football” debate. I grew up saying soccer, and God help me if that changes!)

“They shoulda called it “Tackleball” or something like that!”

I think that’s already taken, tho I’m not sure…..
