Fucking stop this shit, you idiots.

[–]nabbit 21 points22 points ago

As an American, did you feel the need to create another post when there are two already on the front page?

I suppose at least you didn't call it soccer, although it's not really called "European Football" either. We invented football first, we don't need a geographical prefix.

[–]Ducksaucenem 5 points6 points ago

You do in America. We do not call football "American football". I'm lazy and KFC closes in an hour.

[–]gayunicornrainbows 0 points1 point ago

Americans get really butthurt when anyone makes fun of american football.

Ironically, many Americans will take great joy in hating on soccer. Jim Rome has made an entire career out o fit.

[–]turtlesquirtle 2 points3 points ago

Americans don't care if you make fun of football unless you make fun of the physicality of it. Contrarily, everyone flips a bitch when you hate soccer.

[–]B4mf0rth 0 points1 point ago

Not everyone, you just won't notice the quiet millions of Europeans who just don't give two shits about either and prefer rugby.

[–]derekdanger 0 points1 point ago

Yellow card. Whining about whining.

[–]ovenel 1 point2 points ago

To be fair (I'm assuming you're English based on the "we invented football first"), you guys called it soccer as an abbreviation of "association" in association football, so we're only calling it what you guys did. We invented our own football, then you guys stopped calling it soccer, but it was too late for us to change (not that we would have, we are rather stubborn when it comes to change), and now we get poked fun at for it. Oh well, we're used to being the butt of jokes, so it's fine.

[–]jaclaydon 1 point2 points ago

As an Englishman I don't give two shits about America so please shut the fuck up and stop being argent pricks

[–]ImArchMageBitch 4 points5 points ago

These posts are just silly, every sport has it's flaws, now it's just turning into a 'no your sport is worse' , 'NO your sport is worse' bullshit.

[–]Calpa 0 points1 point ago

For some reason a group of Americans is getting scared that the most popular sport in the world might get more ground in the US, and that they may have to actually start caring about it.

[–]tactownview 1 point2 points ago

You mean it never happens in American Football? NY Giants and Deon Grant...I don't have a gif but I am sure someone does.

[–]yourfriendmisery 0 points1 point ago

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704281204575002852055561406.html At least they are playing the damn game. An average 175 minute football broadcast contains 11 minutes of play time by those on the field.

[–]abstroniam 1 point2 points ago

As an Englishman, I don't give a fuck.

[–]dr_walrus 0 points1 point ago

as a european, why do you guys wear a huge armored suit?

[–]djinfish 4 points5 points ago

Sorry man... that's not every sport. That's just the flops in football(soccer) and American basketball

[–]Scarjaka 0 points1 point ago

EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP

[–]darthtronic 7 points8 points ago

As a Canadian I am going to go along with the rest of the world as say I don't can what you think... The world doesn't care America.

[–]SirJiggart 3 points4 points ago

I'm a Brit and I agree with it, our players are pansies.

[–]peachesgp 2 points3 points ago

As an American, this is how I downvote copycat gif threads.

[–]LiveAndLetDiarrhea 4 points5 points ago

YES WE GET IT. IF YOU DON'T ENJOY WATCHING SOCCER THAN PLEASE JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DON'T WATCH IT.

[–]DudeOverdosed 4 points5 points ago

"European football"? Only in america would someone call futbol/soccer European football.

[–]profmonkey 0 points1 point ago

Or, how about it's called "football" like it has been called for decades?

[–]Cheesewire 5 points6 points ago

Rugby > both types of football.

[–]Nezbit -3 points-2 points ago

Gtfo

[–]IVIOOBS 2 points3 points ago

Am I the only one who doesn't care about other countries sports and how they play?

[–]Oblivion-Rider 0 points1 point ago

As an Englishman, I agree.

[–]sevee 0 points1 point ago

It's just 'football' without the 'European' part, because you kick a round ball with your foot. Not like the american version where you run around with some oval thing in your hands and call if football.

Still, the gif is so true..

[–]CosmonautHipster 0 points1 point ago

BUllshit, american soccer is the most flawed one ever. No gameplay at all, no skill at all.

[–]Wann4 0 points1 point ago

its sad to say as a fan that you are right. :( i like soccer a lot, but the whole acting destroys the dynamic.

[–]copperlocket 0 points1 point ago

We have football, but also rugby. We do basically as much contact in a sport but without all that body armour.

[–]neurotycznykot 0 points1 point ago

not only "as an american"... football is ultra gay

[–]ZarkingFrood42 0 points1 point ago

Upvote only because the gif is hilarious and I had forgotten about that part of family guy.

[–]julian7591 -2 points-1 points ago

I also like how there's an orgy whenever someone scores a goal.

[–]uat2d 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, regarding knee injuries in European football...

[–]akumadiavolo -3 points-2 points ago

Pretty much. Then the damn euro basketball players had to come over and popularize flopping in the NBA as well.

[–]VeryProudhonOfYa -2 points-1 points ago

or all the good players went to Europe to get paid while the suckers played college ball, and now you're left with the (grossly overpaid) scraps.

[–]akumadiavolo -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, pretty sure that's not what happened. We'll see come August 12th.

Edit: Also by the amount of revenue they generate most athletes are actually underpaid compared to an average worker.

[–]VeryProudhonOfYa 0 points1 point ago

edit: shouldn't be working while redditing, it affects my ability to pay attention to what post I'm replying to

[–]akumadiavolo 1 point2 points ago

I already hate the NHL, so that doesn't mean a thing to me.

Indeed.

[–]VeryProudhonOfYa 0 points1 point ago

my bad, didn't check what comment thread I was replying to.

[–]turtlesquirtle 0 points1 point ago

How can you hate NHL? It's fucking awesome.

[–]akumadiavolo 0 points1 point ago

It a league built to keep inbred rednecks happy. I like international hockey, but the NHL is garbage.

[–]turtlesquirtle 0 points1 point ago

International as in Olympics, or international as in national teams abroad? If Olympics, fuck yeah.

[–]akumadiavolo 1 point2 points ago

Olympic and European. Anywhere where they don't allow fighting to ruin the game.

[–]turtlesquirtle 1 point2 points ago

The fighting is pretty cool though. But Olympic hockey is much more exciting, as the stakes are higher.

[–]WarioThrillho -1 points0 points ago

As an american without the know how of making a gif, this is what I feel every professional European football game is like:

Please call it by it's full name, Association Football.
