Guardian would be more like kendo cuz so many hits but only so few count.

Engie is more like golf lol.

Mes tennis is kinda perfect.

Thief slam dunk back stab~ and initiative makes me think of shoot outs lol.

Not sure about Necro maybe Necro replace for boxing? I dunno I just don’t see the comparison.

No, Soccer is the correct word to use because the term football applies to any and every game that uses your feet to interact with the ball. For instance, all of these games can be called football by your definition. Why is your version special?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_football

Your version of football is called Soccer because that is the shorthand term for the full name, which is Association football. The full name for American football is both American football and Gridiron football. While I think calling the American version simply football is a mistake, it is done so for the same reasons you call soccer football. That is, it’s the most popular football oriented sport in your culture, so it calling it thus won’t confuse anyone in that culture. Internationally, though, it’s pretentious and confusing to call one specific sport football, and should be referred to by its full name.

Good answer, only problem is that it isn’t true. The whole world refers to football as football. Americans call it soccer, just because they want their local version to be called football. Just like they use so many different metric systems, even if they have another worldwide established measurement.

I’m perfectly fine by this, and I’m not racist, but you can’t change a worldwide used name because you want to. If americans want to call it soccer, in order to seperate it from their sport, it’s okay. But on a worldwide level, it’s called football. (Like it did long before the american version appears)

Nope lol you are wrong they are all forms of football soccer is a more specific term. Also just so we are clear I consider our soccer now to have started in 1869 when they decided not to allow the use of hands anymore. The same year the first game of American football was played.

There’s alot more to it, but that’s enough to show yoUr version of soccer isn’t that much oldet, unless you count when all the British people sat in town square kicking some danish guys severed head around.

American Football is coming.
