Scott, honestly, I was never into it when I grew up there. But, back in school Liverpool and Manchester United where the most popular. Even though I grew up right near Arsenal.

i myself understand both, played both, and am quite fond of both. i myself am a chelsea fan, man u is too cool to like, and i dvr most UEFA games :) and yes, ben jammin', scott is right... the drop kick that he mentioned is actually still LEGAL. although since the balls went from rugby-kinda-rounded to a much pointier version (Todays) it made it too hard... you can read more on it here... http://www.antiwrap.com/?801 tw

The question is does Ben support a particular British side?

Ok, so I stand corrected. But, think about it, the game that Brits call football really is a ball game played with the feet (and occasionally the head). :-)

There are 3 times when feet come in contact with the ball: 1. A punt. 2. A field goal or PAT. 3. A kickoff. In the early years of 'football' there used to be a 4th, the drop kick. The details of the rules elude me at the moment.

You do have a point, but don't say never.

Makes sense, they didn't call it "FootToBall" now did they ;)

From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football : When the term "foot ball" originated, it referred to a wide variety of games in medieval Europe, which were played on foot — that is, by peasants — as opposed to the games played by horse-riding aristocrats. Therefore the name has always implied a variety of games played by people on foot, not just those that involved kicking a ball.

Darn, and I thought "punt" was a) a small flat ended flat bottomed boat b) the indentation on the bottom of a wine bottle c) a bet on a horse I guess I should stick to subjects I know, huh?

And rugby has nothing to do with rugs, what's your point ;)

Sam, I grew up in Stamford Hill, somewhere in between Seven Sisters, Tottenham, Stoke Newington, and Manor House. Arsenal was not a 5 minute walk for me, more like a 5 minute drive.

Where did you grow up Ben? I grew up in Highbury a five minute walk from Arsenal stadium. And, yes, I am an Arsenal fan.

For anyone who cares...Doug Flutie actaully converted a drop-kick thsi past weekend. The first time since 1942.
