Just think. If the Americans had invented football, the World Cup would not have any non-American teams, the players would all wear more armour and padding than a Roman Centurion, and the foot would make less contact with the ball than the hands.

Name one US sport in which we crown a "world champ" that any other country could beat that team in...
Soccer players should wear tons of armor, since getting hit with other players' shoelaces, hair, jersey, breath and shadows seems to incapicatate them for several minutes at a time.
Football didn't use to be all about passing...
