Kapanuckle ... now, now ... let's keep it sweet, ok? I was teasing you, that's all. My point is simply this ... the game has been legitimately called BOTH soccer AND football in BOTH Europe AND North America for almost a century. One should NOT say that the "proper" name is football. Soccer is equally valid. In Italy, for example, it's called "Calcio" meaning to kick. It's all perfectly proper. Insisting that "football" is it's only true name is incorrect. And I KNOW you know that ... that's why I'm just teasing. Ok? Pace (that's Italian for "peace"). :)
