I'm pretty sure it was called football before it was called soccer :)

It was indeed... It's generally only the Americans that call it soccer (shudder). The rest of the world calls it Football or The Beautiful Game. :)

Imagine that....us Americans trying to be different from the rest of the world. Who would have thought such? :p

I'm not complaining, as I like living here in the US. But it's strange that we have always steered the opposite direction of other nations on most things. I mean, we are almost the only place that doesn't use the Metric System. No sense behind it I tell ya. :)

Heh heh...You're right...

As an American living here in Spain for the past two years it's pretty interesting to see the differences and try to make sense of it all

don't forget cellphones.. Ever notice that when you fly from England to the US, as you land the pilot tells you to put your watch back 5 hours and your cellphone clock back 5 years.. :)

wwwwwaaaaayyyy behind :) Getting better though.
