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.

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

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.

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.

Are those outside of the US bothered that we Americans say Soccer to ref to Football?

I am American, but was born in the UK, and grew up loving both Association Football, and American Football.... I often wonder what the rest of the world thinks about us referring to our game as Football, and not distinguishing it as American Football, the way that Rugby and Aussie Rules fans do..... If you are anywhere outside of the US/Canada and you say Football, everyone will assume you are referring to Association Football. In the U.S. of course we are backwards. We refer to Association Football as Soccer, but I doubt many of us even realize that the word "Soccer" is derived from "Association." As a fan of both games, I am often embarrassed by our ignorance...|||I like both games, I just don't understand why you insist on calling it Football when the idea of the game is to throw or run the ball into the end zone. Lets face it the only time you really use your feet is when you fail to score a touchdown (apart from the extra point!) At least in our game the idea is to use your feet! My main beef with the Americans that answer questions on here is the fact that they are so ignorant/arrogant that they expect us to bow down and change what we call our game...even though association football was invented first!|||Yeah, it drives me nuts.





I talk about how I loved how good-looking footballers were, and not friend would comment how she didn't like how big and bulky they were. I understand they don't call it football because it would confuse it with American Football, but why is American Football even called Football? It has little do with the foot.





The lack of u's also confuses me.|||its not really bothering, its just confusing. Just know when and where you can say football refering to American football or soccer.!!|||Yeah its just wrong. Football is the most popular sport in the world but still the americans refer to it as a diffrent word. Its arrogance and ignorant|||Shanahan, excuse me, but arrogance lies in presuming to tell another culture to change their traditions to suit your own.

To all football fans out there.Any chance of a replay? What do you think?

The Football Association of Ireland have lodged a formal complaint with FIFA over the controversial world cup play-off defeat to France and urged the governing body to replay the match.|||Definitely not; Uzbekistan-Bahrein in 2005 was repeated because of a technical error (a player got into the box before a penalty was shot, the ref noticed and instead of repeating the penalty, a free kick was called; which is a technical mistake). Football (soccer) matches are replayed only when there are determinant technical errors (calling a free kick instead of a penalty repetition is a determinant technical error), but not when there are appreciation errors (the ref could say he didn't consider the handball to be a handball, even if it sounds stupid; but I think FIFA is right about it, because if they didn't do it this way, every single game would have to be replayed and refs wouldn't have any authority any more.|||NO CHANCE whatsoever.


And probably rightly so - we can't replay matches. It would be a can of worms worse than Pandora's Box.


What we SHOULD do, of course, is insist VT-recordings and other technologies are introduced asap - despite the Blatter and Platini objections.


The obdurate Blatter, never far away from shady dealings, fixes and the smell of corruption should be ousted - whatever it takes.


With New Zealand in the last 32 - Russia omitted - and France through on foul play - I reckon Blatter's days are numbered. The 2010 WC is shaping up to be a farce - but in the ill-chosen location of S.Africa I think it will be a tragedy.|||Nah mate... Platini is just out to make sure his frenchies get in, and make the world cup "better"





First he cheated us with that scrote ovrebo, now this...


Another scandinavian referee, anyone see the pattern? One from Norway and one from Sweden....





I sympathise with Irish fans, I went through the same thing after the Barcelona game.... this is wat u get from a corrupt French guy..... he should go back to eating frogs legs (no offence french people, that was directed at him, not you or your culture)|||Highly unlikely , such a replay has happened in the past,(Uzbek and Kuwait if memory serves) but not in a game this high profile...Sepp Blatter would take a massive hit if he allowed a replay and there would be hell to pay if the Irish went ahead and actually won such a game|||I highly doubt it , if they do they will never hear the end of it as there are so many bad calls that go on all the time.


it will be a very dangerous precedent to set.|||There is absolutely no way for a replay. Zilch. Nada. France knocked out Ireland due to a blind referee just as Chelsea was denied victory over Barca in last season's CL.|||Then England will ask for a replay of the 86 hand of God and Germany will ask for replay of the 66 final.. things will get messy|||It'll be very unlikely.|||It seems unlikely.

All are technically right. Its the same sport, different name depending on which language you speak.





However the sport was created in England and Association Football is most commonly recognised as 'Football' by the majority of people worldwide. The English language name of the sport is pretty self explanatory and describes the game which tests your skill with your 'feet' and a 'ball'. It is the worlds game, the most played, most watched sport in existence. The largest sporting organisation on the planet, FIFA, stands for Federation Internationale de Football Association.|||The answer is in your question.





"association football"





Soccer is a shortened term for association football, from the soc in association. Just like back in the day association rugby was sometimes referred to as ruggers.





Football has been called football in the U.S. since the 1840's. It stemmed from the game, which was looked at as a combination of rugby and soccer, but both at the time were called "football" mainly by college students who had either grown up or had been educated in England. Another belief is that it was also called football since at the time, many popular sports in the U.S. were played on horseback, and you called it football, as you played on your feet, rather than on the back of a horse.|||football originated in england, hence the FA (Football association), FIFA etc, not a 'S' in the acronyms at all, American Football is American Football and is a combination of rugby and football, with a few 'americanisms' chucked in! Soccer was actually started by rugby players (before the America civil war) to insult the football players because 'Rubgy football' was deemed to be more upperclass than Football, therefore they riddiculed it and labelled it soccer.|||Well, it was called football because people who didn't like the no hands rule in soccer/football, broke off and created rugby. Then in America, the rules were modified further and originally, would not allow a forward pass, only a side pass if two players were side by side. This might break it down further. And because soccer was not nearly as popular in the States, it was called, well, soccer instead of football. And Americans just do what they want. I know, I live here. But check out this answer, it's pretty good.|||It's soccer. Football is Gaeilic. It really depends on where you live - in these countries the following sports are considered "football":





Ireland: Gaeilic


America: American Football


Scotland: Soccer


Wales: Soccer


Australia: Aussie Rules


England: Soccer


...Etc





veito da costa - It's not the world's fault it has to speak English so you can't blame everyone else. And where do you get the idea that every country except America calls it football? Because the Irish don't unless they're half Engligh or something.|||Ok.


For a start, who invented the game???


England.


What language do you use?


English.


What does every other country (except the usa) in the world call the game??


Football.





Soccer does actually derive from the word Association, the abbreviation of which is Assoc.





But, it is FOOTBALL. The one and only TRUE football.|||Well it's football in europe cause we don't play american football so much.


And yeah european football was created before american so it's in order to call it football,but american's can call it like they want who cares anyway.|||I think it's funny how everyone on here bickers about it, it's so childish.


Terry has a moan about it in nearly everyone of his answers.


So what they call it Soccer, get over it.|||Soccer=football


Football=rugby with helmets and messed up rules





They changed it because they already had a game called football. Fair enough, just don't push your word onto us when we invented the damn sport.|||The correct name of the sport is Association FOOTBALL not soccer.

They stole our name football for their own game they largely play with their hands?! so have to make up another word to describe the beautiful game!|||it's FOOTBALL , they just invented this stupid word to be different than the whole world and that's more stupid.|||It is called FOOTBALL !!!!|||No|||last time someone said soccer to me i punched my misses.|||the game where you kick the ball in the goal is soccer.








the game where you play with the ball with the points at the ends is football (not sure why they called this football)|||Yeah well we're Americans and we'll decide, unless you want that foot in your mouth!

Why is it such a big deal that the U.S. calls football soccer?

Why is it such a big deal that the U.S. calls football soccer?


The name association football was coined to distinguish the game from the other forms of football played at the time, specifically rugby football. The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as a slang abbreviation of the word "association", often credited to former England captain Charles Wreford-Brown.|||People from all over the world use different words all the time. It just seems that some people can't grow up and accept this fact in regards to "football" being called "soccer".





This argument is really old, people need to drop this middle school drama and GROW UP!!!!!








USA is not the only country that refers to "football" as "soccer". Several of countries do! Why is it that USA is the only country called out on it?








Check this site out! Most countries even refer to the sport as "soccer" from time to time!|||i personally have no problem with people calling soccer different names but then a gain i'm a little bias since i do live in the US|||the US already has a football an it is more popular in the US then soccer if they were to change the names to make them right (I think they should since you don't play american football with your feet) it would cause another civil war in America|||i really don't care. It's just like how Americans say fanny for the backside, and Brits say fanny for the vagina.|||I think the problem is that Americans think that the sports name is soccer. It's not, it's called football. Maybe the American game should be called by its slang name (gridiron). Let's face it soccer is only a term used for the sport in the colonies. The WORLD knows the game as FOOTBALL.|||There have been over more recent years a push to use the common name to establish a uniformity of names. One example is Australia, as part of Oceania the head body was Soccer Australia. As part of a restructure and moving into the Asian Confederation they were not forced but it was a polite request that Soccer be dropped, thus the head body is now FFA (Football Federation Australia).





FIFA would prefer that Football become the world wide reference but it is not anything that officially concerns anyone except maybe a few in the marketing department.





It does seem to raise the ire of a few fans in some traditional countries that play the sport but I will never understand why.

http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2010/0301鈥?/a>





The IFA up north have started to complain about Northern born players opting to play for the Republic ahead of Northern Ireland. They say it puts them at a disadvantage but who are they to dictate what nationality a person sees themselves as and what choice they make?


Current rules say that anyone born on the Island of Ireland can play for the Republic , because if someone up north considers themselves 100% Irish then they probably would not feel comfortable playing for a British entity , so have the IFA a right to dictate to players who they should play for or should the players allowed to do what they want?





With this complaint do you think they have a leg to stand on?





I don't want to get too political but isn't this case they're putting stamp all over a particular agreement made in the Good Friday Agreement about national identity?|||Stop! There is enough politics in football as it is! :)





Players will tend to go where the money is! I guess that says it all. If all the best Irish players are in the South then they stand a better chance of winning too. The only thing better than money is winning...





It seems the athletes identify with being Irish, as opposed to being a political captive of the North or South of Ireland? I do not pretend to know the grievances of both sides. But, it actually sounds like it might be a very positive trend for all of Ireland itself!|||They're just mad that the Republic are ten times better than them, hence the good players born in NI would rather play for a team that has a chance at winning a game against the Top 10 Nations in the world.

With this complaint do you think they have a leg to stand on?





I don't want to get too political but isn't this case they're putting stamp all over a particular agreement made in the GFA about national identity?|||In my opinion no, and the IFA have themselves to blame for this. It is now widely acknowledged by both sides of “the divide” in the North that Windsor Park (Home ground for Northern Ireland) was a “cold house” for Catholics for many years. The chants sung at matches were intimating for those from a Catholic/Nationalist background and in many cases were sectarian in nature.





Martin O’Neill (currently Aston Villa manager) played for Northern Ireland and was booed by his own “supporters” when he captained the side – this because he was a Catholic. More recently Neil Lennon was similarly booed by his own fans because he was Catholic and played for Celtic FC. Neil Lennon had to retire from the team because he subsequently received Loyalist death threats.





It was even judged unsafe for Derry City to play in the IFA home leagues (which is why they play in the ROI ones)





I appreciate that these issues were not condoned by the IFA in any way - but they were far to slow to remedy this. They should have acted sooner by welcoming and encouraging support from all communities in the North. They failed to this.





Basically everyone I went to school with (and I went to school in “Northern Ireland”) support the Republic of Ireland over Northern Ireland any day. I do have mates who are Northern Ireland supporters but we come from different “backgrounds” – they went to different schools if you get my drift.





Ireland lets face it has very unique problems and while I appreciate the IFA is not acting out of political motives the implications are very political. I don’t think its for the IFA to start trying to rubber stamp everyone born in the North as eligible to only play for Northern Ireland - and as such be forced to stand for God Save the Queen every time they want to play international footy.





One particular case that made the headlines was a lad from Derry city who played for Derry City in the ROI leagues. Then he gets called up for ROI – A portion of northern politicians move in and say “No! He should only be allowed to play for NI!” (Eh???)





Though I appreciate a lot has been did in more recent years to make the grounds less sectarian, the IFA have acted to late for many us. I also appreciate the IFA put investiture in players that they can subsequently lose but its out of their control. Period.





Lets face it the rules work both ways i.e. players in ROI if they want could choose to play for NI instead!





“That is very unlikely to happen!” I hear the IFA shout - at which point they should take a good hard look at themselves and ask “Why is it unlikely to happen?”





And that’s when they'll realise they only have themselves to blame.|||The Northern Ireland team is made up mostly of Protestants/Loyalists. Any Catholic who plays for Northern Ireland usually ends up being taunted by his own supporters, this happened to Neil Lennon. This tells you how bigoted that place still is. You can't blame any Catholic footballer from Northern Ireland who declares for the Republic if that's the way they're treated up there.





Another thing, Northern Ireland have a shyte team at the moment as well.|||NI wants it restricted to the grand parents rule so that only palyers with a grand parent or parent for example born in the republic could then declare for the Republic.


I think their position is fare enough, if these guys wanted to play for the Republic they should do so at an early age and not wait till just before they are about to be capped by NI to swap to the Republic. Lots of players swap to the Republic and swap back again when they cant get into the senior squad. Its a bit of a joke really|||its understandable that they are bothered by this. they have a small pond to fish from as it is. imagine if you were the president of the tibetan football association and tibetan born players wanted to play for china.





EDIT: well its about honor. the irish should have a team that isnt a part of the UK|||If they aren't comfortable playing for NI, then they are more than welcome to play for the Republic. I don't think the rules need to be changed.





Let's be honest, the football in NI is very poor. Two of their best teams both lost 3-0 to Dublin teams last weekend.|||Anyone from the north or anywhere else on the island of ireland are entitled to play with the republic if they choose. I think we should merge both teams into one like it is in rugby.|||I agree with what Podge %26amp; Rodge has said %26amp; yourself.....why would a Catholic Irish person choose to play for mainly a Protestant NI side if they have the choice ....

Has there ever been an approach to unite the four Britsh football associations?

And what do people think of it?|||Not to my knowledge. Each of the nations in the UK have their own identity and culture which they do not wish to see compromised. So the majority of the UK would oppose it.





There will be a Great Britain team in the 2012 Olympics, but all of the players will be English. The reason for this is because Sepp Blatter has pushed for a unified UK team to compete in international football, and the football associations in the UK did not want the Olympics to provide a precedent that Blatter could use to push it further.





Blatter is of the opinion that the UK is represented by four teams, but it doesn't work like that. If Scotland was to win the World Cup, then it would mean nothing to any of the other nations in the UK.





I can see the merit of a UK team in the sense that it would have meant that players like Ryan Giggs and George Best would have played in World Cups, but supporters wouldn't get behind a UK football team like they do their home nation.





But it does happen in other sports. In Rugby Union, there is the British and Irish Lions, this team is formed every four years, and is made up of English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish players (in Rugby Union, both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are represented by a single team).





The British and Irish Lions tour every four years in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The last tour was in South Africa last year.





But in the Rugby Union World Cup, and Six Nations, each nation is represented by it's own team.|||It will never happen, the Scots, NI, Welsh and English will never join forces when it comes to football.

Americans why don't you join conmebol?. conmebol = south american's football association.?

I think you have a great team, however your team will not progress significantly if you continue in concacaf, concacaf is the weakest confederation in the world... So, why don't you join CONMEBOL? look, Australia doesn't play anymore in Oceania, they now play in Asia's football confederation.. Probably if you joined the CONMEBOL you wouldn't qualify to several world cups, however, your football level would progress significantly, conmebol is a very strong confederation, here we have great national teams, fantastic players, look, Messi is south american, we also have great tournaments such as copa libertadores or copa America, and my favorite south american tournament is indeed "south american qualifiers" south american qualifiers are very competitive, you really suffer a lot in south american qualifiers and in the end only very good teams qualify, but the teams that fail to qualify are still good... so what are your thoughts?|||Thanks for the compliments but the U.S. needs to stay out of Conmebol for the time being because the U.S. is trying to grow interest in the sport on an adult level. Soccer/Futbol is already the number 1 sport by far in North America. Soccer has to draw hope and expectation among the American people, they'll write Soccer off if they don't see some results.





Consider Concacaf to be America's "training wheels" before significant interest is generated through world cup wins. Soccer is the Number 5 sport in the U.S. and is generally considered a kids game or for the guys too small/weak to play Football, Basketball, Hockey or even baseball. Very soon Soccer will overtake Hockey as the number 4 sport and it will eventually overtake basketball. As demographics of a large hispanic population and declining interest among Whites and Hispanics in basketball favors soccer/futbol.





If the U.S. goes far in the next 2 world cups, expect the U.S. to switch to Conmebol sooner rather than later. Maybe 10 years from now.|||CONMEBOL would be the biggest idiots if they added U.S..........it doesn't make sense geographically and it will do the same thing that happend when Australia joined the AFC...........it took a team from elsewhere and be added to another...........therefore messing up the confederations...........also, USA will get killed if they joined the CONMEBOL...........they at least havea chance in the Concacaff|||Honestly, I think that's BS. People who slam CONCACAF have no clue what they are talking about. CONMEBOL has like 10 member nations. They get 4-5 spots. BS. If USA moved that would further dilute the World Cup field in my opinion unless you combine both CONCACAF and CONMEBOL. Which I really woudn't mind that at all.|||Because the CONCACAF is ran by the USA. So that will not happen, they will not think of that.


What the USA does do is enter the Copa America as invitee. Along with Mexico.|||Why not have England join CONMEBOL? Or what about Spain? Germany? France? South Korea? Ghana?|||we like to be the big dogs in concacaf|||Americans don't have a choice in this. It's decided by FIFA, not the American population. Anyway, I don't understand how you think that being in a more competitive confederation would make a nation stronger? That makes no sense. It's better that the team be in a less competitive confederation. Either way it would not happen because the United States is not in South America.





Anyway, I don't think you realize that the American team already plays in a league, called the Major League Soccer or MLS. 16 cities compete against each other every year in America. Landon Donovan for instance plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy.





The last thing is that most Americans, believe it or not, are not that interested in soccer to begin with. More females play soccer than males in middle and high school. Actually, the US Woman's Soccer team is probably the best in the world. A lot of American girls take soccer when they are young, while most boy play baseball, basketball or football. Most Americans aren't even watching the World Cup, believe it or not. Americans have been watching E3 video game conference and the NBA Championship.





Almost all Americans however, know about the vuvuzelas. That's famous.

Who has won the uefa, home and fa cups in the same season in europeean football?

uefa includes the supercup, the home would be the premier league or whatever the domestic league of the country is called and the fa is the football association of that country.|||First, the simple (and most commonly known) answer: Manchester United in 1999. They won the English Premiership, the English FA Cup, and the European Champions League Final ("that" game against Bayern Munich).





Your definition of the "European Treble", though, seems to encompass more than just the European Cup. We'd have to add the UEFA Cup, the Supercup, perhaps the now-defunct Cup Winners' Cup (absorbed into the UEFA Cup). And maybe, just for amusement, the Inter-Toto Cup. That's a pretty tall order...





There is also the problem of distinguishing between the two domestic cup competitions, e.g. FA and League cups in England. Different levels of prestige, sometimes similar levels of competitiveness.





For now, listed below are the more conventional winners of the treble (domestic league, domestic cup, and either european cup or uefa cup), based on publicly available info:

Is the Football Association an oppressive, intolerant organisation?

They don't allow managers or players to talk openly. If one negative word is said about the referee, linesmen or any of the officials by them then the FA take action. There is no freedom of expression given to the managers or players at all. Then there is this which I think is ridiculous:

Another factor that the FA need to consider is that most of these comments are said rashly and in the heat of the moment, directly after a match in which a bad decision was given against them that cost them the match.

Can a football club sell his live match broadcast individually?

If the local football(soccer) association own the league according to article 74,75 from FIFA then how can a club sell his matches?|||The ability of any individual club broadcasting its own matches comes down to the broadcasting agreements (or lack of) in place at the time.





A club may negotiate with the broadcast rights holder to do so or the association may have allowed clubs to do so under its agreement with the broadcaster.





Chelsea have Chelsea TV, which shows its own replay of each premier league match a few days after it is played live, that is something they have negotiated with the broadcast rights holders.

The england football association is known as?

The Football Association. It is commonly known by its acronym, i.e., The FA.|||The FA governs all professional football clubs in England. It is a member of UEFA and FIFA, and holds a permanent seat on the International Football Association Board (IFAB). Unlike other national football associations, it does not take the national name (ie. English) in its title (compared to the Scottish Football Association, for example).





All of England's professional football clubs must be members of the Football Association. The FA is responsible for the appointment of the management of the England men's and women's national teams and the organization of the FA Cup (the nation's most prestigious cup competition). Although it does not run the day-to-day operations of the country's top league, the Premier League, it has veto power over the appointment of the league Chairman and Chief Executive and over any changes to league rules.[1] The Football League, England's second tier league, consisting of The Championship, League One and League Two, is self-governing.|||The FA (football association)....

What is more popular worldwide, Star Wars or Football?

By football I mean Association Football (sometimes known as 'soccer'), not 'Grid-iron' which is only particularly popular in the US.|||Definitely Football. In the U.S. though I would say Star Wars by a slim margin. If you look at impoverished countries, you always see images of kids playing football in the streets and such. It's all they can really do for entertainment often times, as they don't have money, and we know the majority of the world is poor. They don't have the privileges of movies and such a lot of the time, and as a result wouldn't have a lot of exposure to the films.|||Star wars (i think)|||Worldwide? Soccer / football.


USA? Star Wars.





Scott is right.|||I wish I could say the answer was Star Wars, but it's not. Football is more popular.





I mean I've seen people in some countries who had never heard about Star Wars, and I was like "What planet are you from?! Have you been living under a rock the past 30 years ?!!" But everyone around the globe knows what football or soccer is.





Soccer is definitely more popular except maybe in the US.





I for one like Star Wars more than any sport. And I'm not only talking about the movies, but also the books, comic books, e-books, and cartoons even The Clone Wars which everyone seem to dislike. I guess I'm a real Lucas hound.|||Star wars by a landslide.

High school Soccer? association football?

for the love of God my team just does not care yes we are freshman but they have no heart playing outside D with a 3-4-3 its hard to effect the mind set of the team season is almost over but how could i help get my team to state when im a junior/senior? any info could be use full|||3-4-3 is a very poor formation, basically allowing your defence to get overrun nearly every attack. The standard formation is 4-4-2 however that's becoming slightly outdated. I'd recommend 4-5-1 where the central midfield is organised into 2 defensive midfielders and one attacking midfielder, this is currently the option used by most football teams in the big games eg man utd, barcelona, inter milan and real madrid. By having 2 defensive midfielders where one of them sits just in front of the defence protecting them and trying to breaking up play and another who can be considered a deep-lying play maker who the basically links up play and passing dictating the tempo of the game, and an attacking midfielder who can provide support to the attack and provide the final touch needed to create an opportunity you ensure that you dominate the midfield- where the game is essentially won and lost. However, having 2 defensive midfielders does not mean that you have 6 defenders as they both MUST sit in between the defence and midfield, this does not mean they neglect there attacking duties and one of the 2 may go up at any given time (but not too far up the pitch) to support the attack preferably the deep-lying play maker, also both must be more disciplined in there positioning than the attacking midfielder who's given a license to roam and float around the midfield providing support and confusing the opposition.


Caution-your midfield needs to be tactically aware of the game to understand their duties properly as they're specific, also you're striker needs to have pace and power as he'll have no strike partner to compliment him.


On the note of tactics it is a must that you keep possession of the ball preferably in the middle of the pitch, this is where a 5 man midfield comes in handy. Also make your passes simple concise but accurate and utilise your wingers effectively, this will stretch the team greatly creating gaps for your attacking mid and attacker to exploit. Make sure the players are all well generally disciplined in their positions and defend and hassle your opponents all over the pitch as to make it harder for the opposition to get close to your goal- dint give them space. You yourselves should work together as to create space for your teammates to pass into when they've got the ball. Finally, defence is priority as when your not conceding your not losing, this doesn't mean go ultra defensive but make sure you don't get sloppy losing the ball in defence etc.


Good luck lol i know its a lot to take into. If you want a a perfect example try to watch Barcelona play, they execute it perfectly.|||3-4-3 is asking for trouble. Try 4 in defense and 4 or 5 in the midfield. 4-4-2 is always a simple but effective formula. You will have those important extra bodies back when your opponents have the ball.


Remember; when YOU are in possession, start from your position and look for space to receive a pass. When THE OPPOSITION are in possession, start from your position and get close to their players to make a tackle.


But if there's no heart, you're doomed.

UK: The Football Association says Great Britain will have a team at London 2012.....

So it looks like it's gonna happen whether any of us like it or not. But what's your opinion - good or bad idea?|||bad idea, if the other home nations don't agree to it then they can keep their players out of it meaning it will be an england team, which won't be our strongest (it is under23's) but will also play into the hands of uefa and fifa who will say we can do it at the euro's and world cup.|||i think its a good idea - we compete in other olympic events as a united country so why not football. |||I think English players will dominate the lineup. This is why Scotland, NI etc. have not been enthused by the idea.





I don't see the point unless they give youngsters a chance and leave the major footballing tournaments to the best 11.|||I think it is a bad idea because I think that each country should have their own football team. Why do we have to have 4 countries in one. England are much better than the rest of the U.K |||think is a good idea because it helps people show case there talents .people in different organized countries do this especially to help the youth who are the core of our countries .Youths are important for our Nations they should not be idle|||As I answered to a similar question last week, the home FA`s are scared of losing their individual right to play in other major tournements, especially if Mr Sebb Blabber gets involved .

Do you think Juventus will be punished by football association of italia because of their case?

I support Juve for 12 years. But if they are found guillty they can be demoted %26amp; worse they can be stripped of the last 2 scudettos. The UEFA is keeping a close eye on this, so italian fa wont take a chance. But Bianconeri will rise up. Milan went down %26amp; bankrupt in 80. Still later they won 3 european titles. Juve can do that too.|||By the last news:


1.Juventus will go in Serie B for a season and it will loose the scudettos and Trezeguet,Buffon and Ibrahimovic.Lazio in Serie B.


2.Milan will start next scudettos 35 pts lower.So no scudettos.Also Fiorentina will.


3.Inter by the cheats of Champions League will start 15 pts lower.Also Chievo Verona and Sampdoria.


4.The scudetos of this season wined by Juventus will be given to Rome.|||no i don't.|||O yes. It says so in the soccer law. A law is a law and can't be countered.|||I don't think the team itself will be punished, although I know my father disagrees, he thinks that they could end up in Serie C, but I doubt it. But I do think that the administrators and anyone else that was involved will pay a high price, also to set an example to anyone else that thinks they can get away with it. I think Juventus is too big of a product for the Federazione Italiana Gioco Calcio (F.I.G.C.)to lose, they Federazione does have a new director and he may not want to seem soft on these issues, he may want to come in and show everyone who is running the show, if you know what I mean. Lets keep our fingers crossed, and hope for the best. I think the Moggi family will end up paying a very high price for their involvement.|||No they're too good of a team.|||they will probably get a fine but i cant see them being deducted points or being relegated like a few italian clubs have been in the past, they are one of the biggest teams in the world and one of the main reasons people watch italian football. Also juve and ac milan are realistically italys only chance of winning the champions league so the italian fa will definately not punish them to severly, infact the individual players and other staff are more likely to be punished rather than the club.|||YES,HO YES, DAM YES,BETTER BE YES,PLEASE YES.|||Of course they must be punished because of their lawless work.maybe well see them in seriB next season|||If Luciano Moggi is punished. Juventus also will Punished, but I don't hope Juventus Punished because I am a Juventini.

Why do English people think 'soccer' is the "wrong" word for football in England?

Despite English people (including myself originally) constantly saying "it's not football, it's soccer!", calling it soccer is legitimate too.





Football didn't really have much in the way of rules originally - association football changed that, and association football was abbreviated to 'soccer'.|||I guess you're American.
