Oh, well that changes things then. I disagree with people who say it isn't football, but not those who say it is soccer.
If you're cool with this, then all is swell
Oh yeah, definitely. I call rugby league football and the other one soccer, but that's just what I call it for the sake of telling the difference between the two. I'm not going to argue that soccer isn't football, because it is. The governing bodies of soccer are absolutely in the right to use the term 'football'.

I hope I'm out of the idiot books now, Jiro. xD
