		<description>A few points about some of the comments...

First of all &quot;America&quot; by itself IS indeed the U.S.A.  North America &amp; South America are name of Continents.  When FSU women are coming to America, they are not talking about Peru or Bolivia, but Madison and Park Ave., or maybe Rodeo Drive.

Sometimes in Europe they call it &quot;American Football&quot; when they refer to the NFL. (National Football League)  Football (Soccer) in Europe is chump change compared to the NFL version of Football, which is a multi-billion dollar industry.
That is like a Googolplex in Roubles.

Isn&#039;t Soccer or European Football event called a &quot;Match&quot;... like in Tennis?
Whereas American Football is called a game.

So if someone says they went to a Football match, we know they are talking about a bunch of sissies in shorts that get less physical action than most of its fans in the stands...
Whereas, if someone says they went to a Football game, we know they are talking about the pigskin... which is kind of sily, because everyone knows they are made out of horsehide!  LOL  just kidding.., they are really made from Cows.</description>

		<description>&quot;Its called soccer in America!&quot;

In America????

Only in the U.S.A. is called &quot;Football&quot;, everywhere the &quot;Soccer&quot; is called Football, in Central America, South America (because America is a continent not a country) that sport is called Fútbol (the latinism of that word, or literally translated as &quot;Balón Pie&quot;).

And that sport is called Footbal because its played with your &quot;Feet&quot; not with your hands and arms like the &quot;U.S.A.`s Football&quot; or Rugby.

I hope you understand my poor english.</description>
