the debate has been going on for ages about what should the sport other wise known as the beautiful game be called.most people around the world commonly know it as football but in the united states it is referred to as soccer. the united states have their own version called football which involves intense tackling by players weighing over 300 pounds, but unlike the real football the foot is only used once in every 5 to 7 minutes in American football, to kick a awkwardly shaped ball through goal post that is suspended in the air.is it right to call the American version of the game football or the game that is known and played by millions of people around the world football, where teh foot is used throughout the entire game.
