I won't say anything negative about your game but it beats me that this is actually called football in your country.

Oops, I'm afraid this is going to heat up the debate!

You are quite right it is football nothing else especially that
abomination "soccer" it sounds ridculous. As for interest there is
none though my friends love MFF, I think the game is boring to watch,
ofcourse people tends to find that notion strange and the fact that I
hate coffee is even stranger in most peoples eyes.

Tottenham Hotspurs for me!

Although soccer is not my favorite spectator sport, I have watched the World Cup and the Euro Cup in the past. I am still waiting for Canada to qualify one of these years and also Scotland to make it to the "big game"!

When I was a kid in the 60's I was a fan of The Dave Clark Five. They were from Tottenham and their music was dubbed "The Tottenham Sound". The Beatles had the "Mersey Beat". Dave Clark was a big fan of the Hotspurs, so "Tottenham Hotspurs" became my favorite soccer club. I still check the standings to see how they are doing.

My favorite sports to watch are Ice Hockey, Baseball, Football (North American style) and Basketball. My fave teams are Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, Toronto Blue Jays, Toronto Raptors Kansas City Chiefs.

Go Blackhawks! Fourty-eight years since their last Stanley Cup!

Yes it is FOOTBALL not soccer. American Football is called AMERICAN Football to differentiate it from the real thing. The word "soccer" is another Americanism to differentiate it from American Football. See how complicated it makes everyone's lives?

But back to the point: Burnley F.C.
Which incidentally is the second vote for the Clarets.
Soon everyone will have heard of us!

Dee, xx.

I think I have to put the cat among the pigeons here, I always understood that the word "soccer" came from an alteration of "assoc", which is an
abbreviation of "association football". So I checked it up and bingo.....

My pleasure Jennifer, I don't think we should give our American cousins the blame. My old gramps used to call the game soccer and I'm sure he never adapted any Americanisms
Rgds and thanks also for your contributions
