DS #2312: Street Football (Europe)

[BinarySoup]

To me whatever sport has more "foot" on the ball should be called football.

[sarcasm]
your post makes NO sense. surely any game called football should involve carrying by HAND an object that does not resemble a BALL in anyone's eyes but the most drunk of people. players should also wear enough protective gear to make sure a herd of stampeding elephants are un-noticed.

don't try to read sense into american words. it's too painful. i'm still looking for the chicken that lays eggplants…

 

[Turmoil]

Australians still call soccer, soccer. As we have the one and only true football here ;D

Ohh I do so love this topic =D

 

[HeatMan Advance]

Why don't just call it kickball since that's what the game is about?

It's kind of ridiculous that this topic came this far with no mention of what the game actually plays like, until Killermech's post.

Came in just to see everyone berate each other over the anticipated 'football vs soccer' linguistics debate. Thanks everyone!

 

[lavalamp]

The game isn't even football.. it's just a bunch of annoying boring minigames involving a kid and his ball

Left or right ball? This sounds more like a Japanese game...

 

[SleepingDragon]

This game is the absolute definition of "shit-ware"

 

[debaser]

it's football, not only in Europe, also in all American continent except USA and Canada, this sport is called football (or futbol) loooong time before some "creative" came up with that artifial name "soccer", just because your "American Football" is called like that doesn't mean that our sport must be named other way, besides "AMERICAN" Football is only played (populary) in not more than 3 countrys of the 35 countrys that form the American continent.

hi.

really bad game this

Screens?

If you wanted to play street football, why would you be playing on your DS?

You could meet up with your friends, in the street, and play this multiplayer

Every time there is a game released with the word Football in the name, there is pages of sh!t about what is football and American football and soccer. Honestly it becomes really boring after a while, Look at the picture on the box. Look at the shape of the ball, if you cant work out what its about from that its a wonder you can walk and breath at the same time. Can we just get one footie release, Soccer or American football without all this crap again please. Oh and the game is dire, a total waste of bits and bytes...

 

[Seven]

3+ indeed.

 

[Artheido]

Why do Americans need to have there own ways?! Just stick with the rest of the world and name your crappy American Football something else! You barely use your foot in American Football and most of the time it looks like a more violent version of Rugby =/

EDIT: More specific, you barely use your foot on the ball in American Football.

Couldn't this example be used in quite a few situations?

all the Imagine series?

Aquarium by DS.

Clubhouse games, even?

Man what the fuck?? Is the GAME any good? I care less about what the "sport" is called in your part of the world. Thanks. (Drops back into the dungeon..)

just watched a funny stand up comedian from new zealand. he said he was amazed how the brits aren't offended by the "c" word. that the only thing that offends us is the word "soccer".

i guess to understand, imagine we took the game of baseball and called it something daft like kneeball (or rounders).

Damn I hate to break the news to you ( mainly because of the posts this is going to possibly generate ) but Baseball is derived from the game of rounders which dates back to before baseball was created. There was a book by some bloke who tried to deny it but there are documented references of rounders that date way way way back prior to any documented baseball references, most baseball historians acknowledge the origins of baseball came from rounders now and rounders wasn't invented in England either. If the Americans really really want a sport that's their own then Basketball is the one, netball was derived from basketball which was invented about 100 years ago in the US. Right I'm off to hide in an air raid shelter till the flack dies down..... and this game is still dire ( just to keep on topic )

 

[m3rox]

So I take it screens don't exist...

 

[uchucklesaht]

Not to brag about Canadians or anything, but I think a Canadian invented Basketball.
So, I am not really sure which sport america has intiated. Anyone come up with any?
