No it doesn't, ignore that fool.

Don't pretend you both know something you don't.

Never got into Football Manager. Find it too long and boring. Why do they say football in rugby? It isn't football its rugby. He's a rugby manager.

Oh dear here we go, football has various versions codes. Football (American) football (Aussie rules) Gaelic, association football (football/soccer) rugby football (league or union)
So it is acceptable and always has been to call rugby football.

I am constantly telling Americans that they are entitled to call their game 'Football' because it's another code of football like all the ones you have listed." Jeez buddy I never knew that Rugby and soccer were football too"

Oh.

Americans are a bit weird and different when it comes to sport......or most things actually.

A team wins a competition over there, whether it be American Football, Baseball, Basketball.....and the Yanks pronounce them as WORLD Champions and everyone agrees.

Leeds not only win the GF, but the World Club Challenge and it apparently makes our sport a joke to call us WORLD champions.

I'm pretty sure the only comp the yanks mention 'world' in is baseball, and I'm pretty sure it's only called the 'World Series' as it was sponsored by the 'World' publication.

Have to agree though, Americans are a strange breed!

To quote Top Gear when talking about American cars.....

"In European cars they'll have symbols for the wipers and headlights etc because we acknowledge that other countries speak different languages. Where as in America it'll just say 'WIPERS' on the button because.....what is French???"

I heard this years Super Bowl NFL winners called the world champions by the commentators and the celebrating players too

Are there any teams outside of America that could beat them? No so they are the best team in the world.
