Soccer is un-American and we shouldn't be listing it here. Although perhaps we could instead show the US Women's Soccer Team, who won the World Cup a few years ago? GodisGreat 14:53, 21 March 2007 (PST).

Rugby?
Just curious, is rugby considered a form of football? I thought 'football' refers only to what in America is called 'soccer' and to 'american football'. Leopeo 06:38, 13 May 2007 (EDT)
- The term "football" applies to a number of sports.
- Rubgy is also a kind of football game, and it is closer to American football than it is to soccer. In both games, there is a sort of touchdown and a field goal.
- It might help US-UK relations (among us contributors anyway ;-) if we compared rugby to American football. --Ed Poor 07:26, 13 May 2007 (EDT)
- Is rugby comparable to American football? American footballers wear body armor and helmets, rugby players don't. The rules are completely different too. The similarities are superficial. Auld Nick 07:31, 13 May 2007 (EDT)
