Only anglos call them balls. Civilised people refer to them as eggs.

Testicles arent balls, it's just an informal way of referring to them.

Games that use "eggs" are proper football.

Rugby FOOTBALL is the mother code of all of them, codified some 20 years prior to soccer.

Soccer was devised by a bunch of nancies who didn't want contact in their game. Shit, one of them even left in disgust during the famous 1863 meeting because the association decided to prohibit hacking.

Soccer is the proper name.

>>76023820
>Implying all those forms of football don't include kicking

>>76023966

You have to go back.

And football's name wasn't derived from the fact you control the ball with your feet.

Medieval football, which is precedent of rugby, soccer, aussie rules, american football, etc, etc allowed any and every way to control the ball, from running with it, kicking it, passing it, etc.

>These archaic forms of football, typically classified as mob football, would be played between neighbouring towns and villages, involving an unlimited number of players on opposing teams, who would clash in a heaving mass of people struggling to drag an inflated pig's bladder by any means possible to markers at each end of a town. By some accounts, in some such events any means could be used to move the ball towards the goal, as long as it did not lead to manslaughter or murder.[4]

>Drag an inflated pig's bladder across a boundary.

Hmm. Sounds more like one football game than an other. I'll let you guess which one.

That "armour" doesn't really protect you and actually exacerbates the force because player mistakenly feel too protected wearing them,

Another Eurotard meme without factual basis.

>Martyn Williams, the former Wales international who played in the same position, told the Telegraph: "I would say American Football is more dangerous… there are far more ‘hits’ put on players who are not expecting it. You can fly in without using your arms when attempting tackles, so knees and so on are far more exposed. I believe all that protection makes them feel invincible.”

>>76024277

Historically inaccurate.

>Rugby football has strong claims to the world's first and oldest "football club": the Guy's Hospital Football Club, formed in London in 1843, by old boys from Rugby School. Around the English-speaking world, a number of other clubs formed to play games based on the Rugby School rules. One of these, Dublin University Football Club, founded in 1854, has arguably become the world's oldest surviving football club in any code.

Carrying egg with hands=football (as proven by historical fact)

Kicking a ball and flopping around trying to break a 0-0 tie=soccer (a game codified much later)

>>76024060
>Soccer was devised by a bunch of nancies who didn't want contact in their game

it was very much a physical contact sport, getting studded in the shins hurts a lot more than being tackled to the ground. it's so heavily officiated today because athletes recklessly kicking each other is dangerous and easily career ending

That happens quite a lot. Not because of big hits, but because of when that retarded scrum thing they do collapses on a player.

>>76024390

Rugby and Medieval football games resemble American football more than kickball.

You can find rugby better and more manly to your heart's content. Doesn't change the fact that running with egg across a line=real football.

Soccer was a strict deviation from that design and should be more compared with sports like field hockey and water polo.

Just because they have some things in common doesn't mean they're the same thing.

>retarded scrum thing

Not really that dangerous, scrummaging is very technical. Props are ridiculously strong and can support the pushing force of 6'7+ locks behind them. It's about tight knit momentum and power not a free for all.

>>76024499
>Just because they have some things in common doesn't mean they're the same thing.

They are "football" games. And yes, tennis and Badminton are in the racquet sport family.

Rugby spawned American Football, Canadian Football, Aussie Rules Football, and maybe Gaelic. The ancestor game to all of them was Medieval football, which involved dragging a pig's bladder across a boundary. And you could use your hands!

The point is football games weren't called such because you use your feet to kick or control the ball, and historic football games more resemble American football than soccer, meaning the whiny European tradition of berating people who call football soccer isn't based in fact.

>>76024737
Long story short: inventors of rugby are dumb for calling it football even though they played it with their hands and an egg.

>>76024777
>calling it football

They called it football because it was played on foot rather than horseback. And I imagine many sports were played on horseback then (i.e. jousting, fox hunting, racing, etc).

>>76024777
kicking is a massive element of rugby

but you already know that

>>76024825

Would've been a lot less dumb to call it handegg.

>>76024920
Their brains are compressed by fat.

>>76024903

Punting and place kicking are vitally important in american football.

Bad punters and place kickers can lose you games, championships, etc. And the stats confirm. A great placekicker can have a quarterback level impact on a team's wins.

yes but you only use kickers for set pieces and returning. in rugby it's a fast way to freely move/clear the ball and you can score in play. then of course you want to centre tries as much as possible for an easier conversion angle. there's a lot more to it
