yea a game where the ball rarly touches the foot. makes so much sense when you think about it ;)

hehe I agree with you, but I've never said it is making sens to name it football either :)

But I don't get it why ppl gets so mad about it. British says colour and americain say color!

This is just a difference pronounciation that makes more culture. That is the beauty of the entire earth... difference ;)

I'm English and live in England, and support Germany and think that this whole England flag thing is utter nonsense bordering on extremist nationalism. I hate all these cars with England flags attached to them.

Imagine if i put a German flag on my car, imagine the reaction of some "England supporters" - i have no doubt that it would end in some kind of violence - which is the basis for my dislike of this England flag nonsense.... the kind of person who has one is by their having one, intolerant.

A lot of people who bear the England flag on their cars - and they're not in the majority - are more often than not, Nationalistic, Racist (look down on ethnic monirities), Daily Mail reading (thugs), most likely brain dead....

Bearing an England flag in itself is an innocuous act, but my point is that behind such an act: the difference between someone who will make an effort to do it, and someone who will not, often lies the kind of person described above.

Finding the flag on Neowin I actually cried out : "Nooooooooooo!" and seriously considered not visiting the site again until after the world cup.

In any case, isn't Neowin an extremely diverse and multi-cultural/national community. I find it a bit off putting that the site would declare it support of England so prominently when those of other nationalities are so often visitors here. It'd be better if a flag on the homepage wasn't there..... for all of us.

First of all, I'm going to say this. You sir, redefine 'bull****'. I don't think I have read such crap.

You can support Germany, no one is saying you can't, but if people who are English want to put flag's on their cars and hang them from their houses and windows, they can, for two simple facts. They either support England, or live in England. How is it extremist nationalism? Is this not England? Is the flag of England not the St. Georges cross? It is the symbol of this great country, if you like it or not.

Be it so, that some people are intolerant of others, but you will find the majority are this way because they are patriotic, they love their country, and this is why.

You sir, are a moron. They bear the England flag on their cars because of what I have already said, they are supporters of this country and its football team. I have a St. Georges cross hanging from my window every day of the year, and no I'm not brain dead, nor am I racist. I'm English, I live in England, was born and will die hear. I'm patriotic and love my country. Simple as that. And the greatest fact all over is, that the St Georges cross, is the flag of England. Not the Germany flag. And look down on others? No sir, thats just stupid. Why would I look down on others because I have a flag flying proudly from my house?

And I hope I don't cause any offence to anyone of the German nation, and believe me, I intend non. But, where did the Nazi's come from? And team did you say you supported?

And really, after all that rubbish you can actually call yourself English?

lol dnno what there is to hate about it.

And i think there should be a rule about what people call the sport, its not soccer :laugh: , it was invented by english people we call it "football" we dont take your sports and give them stupid names lmao

Do some research. The term "Soccer" was coined by an Englishmen, to differentiate it from rugby football. So the very people who complain the loudest about people calling the sport soccer actually invented the word to be used as it is used now by everyone who is not from the UK.

Does anyone support Brazil? Or am I the only one.... I support Brazil not because they are the most publicized but because of their fantastic offense and team work. Despite their terrible game versus Croatia, I believe that Brazil will win! 6th!! w00T!

And all you lazy bastards out there who thinks sports are for jocks... screw you coz you can never last in the survival of the fittest. Yeah!!! lol

why would they call rugby football though? The majority of the game, the ball doesnt touch the players feet!

and get over it, think about it, redmak isnt from England, its his site, is he complaining?

Imo, if you dont like it, lump it, i dont really see what the problem is anyway, after all, we are going to win the cup ;)

I think that Rugby football was around before the modern day football.
