    So maybe we need to begin the trend of calling it MLS football although that sounds silly and is redundant.....I think our poor British friends may just have to resign themselves to hearing the word soccer every now and then. Sorry all!

    NFL Football is also redundant as NFL stands for National Football League, but using the terms MLS Football or NFL Football sounds less silly to me than American Football or European Football...especially since BOTH sports are played on BOTH continents (although, admittedly, American Football is significanlty less popular in Europe than Soccer....eeerrrr....European Football is here in the States). I'm with you, though. I think the term "soccer" has already caught on, and it would probably be a moot point to try to change it at this stage. I'm all for compromise, but the reality is that compromise isn't ALWAYS possible, unfortunately. :frown:

    On the Soccer/Football thing, just call it "European Football" and "American Football." That's pretty much how my friends and I have solved it. :)

    Dallas Cowboys, New York Rangers, New York Mets, and the New York Knicks!!! Can we just mention LIN for a minute!?!?! :D

    I think you're officially my opposite! Flyers vs Rangers, Phillies vs Mets, Eagles vs Cowboys... ;)
    And I'm not even really sure why American football is called football either.....

    I think our football was actually born from European football and "rugby football". The game of course evolved over the years, but the name "football" remains.

    As for "soccer", that, ironically, is actually an English term!

    NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers
    College Basketball: Pittsburgh Panthers
    NHL: Pittsburgh Penguins

    MLB: No thank you. Haven't followed the Pirates since Barry Bonds left for San Francisco. Haven't followed baseball since he was snubbed because of the steroids scandal.
