POLL: Should National Football Associations compensate clubs if there was any injury obtained by a player?

thats just crazy that would just bring up more debt to clubs . The last thing they want is financial conditions on injuries. Let it be, plzz.|||No. If they have a problem with it, they should not have internationals on their team.

When are soccer fans outside the United States going to get their history straight?

It is well documented that our version of football was established before soccer was ever played. Your ancestral barbarians were probably still kicking goat heads around any patch of grass that could be found. Back then, our rules allowed for more kicking of the ball than it is now, hence, the name "football" was attached. Some years later after soccer was being established, an Englishman who enjoyed association football decided to call it "soccer" so as to avoid confusion. It's a term which is marketed by YOUR companies, in YOUR countries, by YOUR teams, with YOUR money that is earned at YOUR games. We don't have it confused. I'm afraid it's you so called connoisseurs who have had it wrong for a great long time.





And by the way, I happen to enjoy football and soccer no matter where they are played. You might benefit from a little open-mindedness.|||I erased what I originally had because it appears I misinterpreted the question.





After reading your question once more, to me, it does not matter when each sport was "discovered". All I care about is what's going on now. I have nothing against football, my whole family loves football, my brothers played HS football...I just like soccer/fooball better.|||I like both footballs, I really don't care for the name. You can call it baseball for all i care. You are just trying to pick a fight.|||your wrong football (or soccer to you yanks) was invented before before america was even discovered.|||you are an idiot.|||LOL Just like YOUR history teaches you that Edison invented all those things not Tesla.........|||Avigla is right!!!! The game of soccer started in the early 1300's in Asia. Way before any sport was on the map and maybe they did start with a goats head. Get rid of the political garbage and face the fact that Football makes more since when your watching a game of Soccer. This is just fact. Just because the American football game has evolved more to a hands on game before kicking doesn't mean that it makes more since. English, Spanish, and well the rest of the world will continue to use football as the primary name for the sport of soccer. That is just fact. So when the people decide something in my country that would be something of a democracy. The people in vast majorities will always prevail when any subject is brought to light.











Soccer is better left as football! Football U.S. will be in its own little corner of the world while the rest of the world will enjoy the real game of football (SOCCER).

Football(soccer) fans, has the U.S. been doing better than you expected?

I was just watching the last 12 min of the game, and yet again they pull away with late heroics.


I'm not really a fan of association football, but this years world cup is very exciting.|||I'm really proud of our team this year. Despite the questionable calls that have robbed us of victories and valuable points we still won our group. Now it gets tougher. With powerhouses like Brazil, Argentina, Portugal and Mexico looming in the next rounds we can't get caught up in this small but huge victory. We need to step it up, increase our intensity and lay it on the line. I'm not a regular soccer fan either but lately I've really been getting into the World Cup these past few years. I wish I could have gone to South Africa this year to be part of the spectacle and prestige of the event. Someday I will go in my lifetime. Hopefully I can go when the World Cup is hosted by a Caribbean nation or South American nation. If not then the next time it comes back to the US I will catch a few matches live.|||LIKE THIS IS WHITE PEOPLE, AMERICA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI0gnh7Ch…|||COME ON ENGLAND!! WOOOOO!|||I'm not going to lie, I expected the U.S. to do a lot worse than it has already done. I think you guys have started to take football a lot more seriously now. Well done.|||I wasn't expecting anything out of the US to begin with so, it doesn't matter to me.





I was really hoping the french would do well, but with an idiot coach I guess it just wasn't possible..|||Yes, it has been doing well.|||i really felt other countries in the world were so much better then USA at football (soccer) since where known for American Football.


but after seeing that game





damn, i love us! the top team in the group right now and we pass.





WHERE GOOD AT EVERYTHING WE DO!!


OLYMPICS%26lt;


WORLD CUP





i love USA





Hi from Colorado|||I am still shocked, I just finished watching usa vs algeria.


I think a lot of people (myself included) expected and wanted america to do bad.|||before they beat spain at the confederations cup last year, people obviously was doubting them including me, then i was thinking why dont they play like that every game because that could get them far which it did, because they could of beat brazil last year aswell and now in the knockout stage and deservingly topped the group

What is the difference between the soccer leagues in a country and in the world?

I know that FIFA is the main governing body for association football and the biggest tournie is the world cup, but what is the difference between say a country's national team-like Brazil's and then all the Brazilian leagues like Flamengo, Murici, Corinthians, etc..Is there a hierarchy? Do the smaller football clubs only play each other, and then the best players go on to represent a country on the national team to only play against other countries?|||FIFA is the governing body and it consists of 6 confederations AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC and UEFA. These confederations consist of individual football associations looking after individual counties (FAs) like Brazilian Foootball Associations. Each country has its own domestic league and cup competitions run solely by the individual FA like the premier League or La Liga. The national team consists of all players that the national team coach has called up to play for the national team (a player can reject the call up). They play for their respective clubs but not necessarily in the country that they represent on the international level. For example Messi plays for Barcelona (Spain) but represents Argentina on the international level.

New zealand and australian football leagues?

Can i claim for damage to property or cars by kids playing football?

I live in a cul-de sac in a housing association flat There is often kids and teenagers playing football even though there are signs up saying no ball games! If they cause dammage to my propertey or cars am i in a legal position to claim against their parents if they are under a certain age or against them if they are classed as legaly responsible for themselves also if the damage is caused by their friends can i hold them responsible as the tennancy agreement states that they are responsible for visitors to their propertey. if so how do i make a claim and what are the ages i can claim against do i go to my housing association? solicitor ? police ? Citezenz advice?|||to be honest the best bet instead of causing more problems is GO to the parents don't be quick to sue , if the parents want to be jerks then call the police tell the police you kindly went and spoke to them first so to avoid sueing them and then the police will make out a report and then you give it to your insurance company then they may go after the parents of the children..you want whats best for you and your neighbors..so start with a kind talking to|||I believe you could make a legit complaint. I would suggest contacting an attorney and also, contact your housing association. If it says in the rules that they are responsible...then bottom line...they are responsible. No brain surgery there. I would be contacting all proper people asap|||Yes, You can hold them responsible. If they are minors, then their parents will pay for the damage they cause. They have to stay off your property, but do have the right to play in the street. However, if they damage your car, or property from the street, they are responsible. Make sure you take pictures, and document your case.|||Of course you could make a claim. It may be classified as non criminal damage. Report it to your housing association. If necessary, make out a Police report, and notify your insurance company.|||as there are signs up against people playing football etc then you are in your right to claim against damage there are also fines for the culprits who ignore these warnings we have the same were we live .1st you have to report it to the people whom put the signs up then they will let you know who to report the damage to if you have any .|||Best available citizens advice? Get to know your neighbors on a personal level, rather than preparing to sue them for damages that haven't happened yet. Kids will play- it doesn't matter how unchild-friendly the homeowners association has made itself. But, by getting to know the kids, they're likely to have more respect for you and your property. Plus, you might get some new friends out of the deal. It's easy to do, just bake a tray of cookies, and knock on doors. Everyone likes to meet their neighbors. Unnecessary litigation just causes hostility on the street where you live.|||go and have a word with the parents first, see how you get on, if no joy then report it to your local police and council, keep dates and times of everything, they go to cab office and they will help you from start to finish,they are great,hope that helps, all the best.|||Having read the replies to you first, I would agree that you can report them or their parents. Having suffered verbal abuse and threats from a neighbour simply because I gave a child a telling off for helping to wreck my garden in the name of the word "playing", I followed this up, especially as adults also became involved. You can try being nice to neighbours but it doesn't work sometimes. Complain to the Council in the first instance. Get someone as a witness and also take photos of the damage and try to catch them doing it on camera. It all helps|||yes you can claim but it might be difficult to prove|||Yes, you have rights against both them and their parents as well as the landlord.Take your written tenant agreement and go talk to a lawyer to get the details for your state.|||contact brian damage, then give them a kicking
