Australians, maybe?

Aha, I see. I went anon on this one because I figured I was probably wrong. Someone once told me rugby=football in Australia. On a semi-related note, AFL is my initials! Awesome sauce!

(I am american): ah i see you missed the point of my comment. am i not allowed to like american football the best? whenever anyone says 'oh yeah i prefer american football the most' everyone's gotta be like 'stupid american!!!!'. i just like it.

(I am american): How in the world is it ignorant to have an opinion? What separates his opinion from yours? Just because he's American, his opinion is lower than yours? That's the same thing as being a racist.

Is the third one gridiron or AFL?

Because feet are cool. They're like personal cars for your body. And balls are ...balls. Need I say more? So, foot + ball = superhappyfuntimeyay.

Dis soccer(in Engels) of ''sokker'' in Afrikaans waar ek bly. Dit was nooit voetbal nie. Jy's nie baie slim omdat jy 'n ander taal kan praat nie. Ek kan dit ook doen. Jy's dom.

Not really sure what you said; google translate butchers it. "It's soccer (in English) or''soccer''in Afrikaans where I live. It was not football it. You're not very smart because you have a different language can talk. I can do. You're stupid." Yes, I agree. YOU CAN DO. I'm not smart because I can speak spanish? (at a mediocre level, if even that) I won't deny I'm stupid, though.

Google translate tends to do that. Dis soccer(in Engels) of ''sokker'' in Afrikaans waar ek bly. That means it's soccer in English or sokker in Afrikaans where I live. Dit was nooit voetbal nie. That means it was never football. Jy's nie baie slim omdat jy 'n ander taal kan praat nie. Ek kan dit ook doen. That means you're not very smart because you can speak another language. I can do that too. (Was wondering why you answered in Spanish.) Jy's dom. You're dumb/stupid. (Just copying what you said.) Damn straight I can do. Let's agree that you guys call it football, we call it soccer, and we're both dumb, okay?

Oh, that makes more sense. I said it in spanish because spanish people call it football, and I said you were dumb because... I dunno. bobo is one of the words I abuse, blame it on our teacher for overusing it last year (towards our class). I normally would call it soccer, though. But, yea, you keep on doin', and we can both go on our own dumb separate ways.
