The REAL Football

Tonight, I was sitting at work, thinking of what I could possibly do to pass the time, Netflix doesn't work on the computer, I don't want to sit around and watch youtube videos, and then I thought to myself...

"I'm in a football watching mood..."

Luckily I remembered that FSU is lucky enough to get ESPN3, so I was able to find some UEFA Cup 2012 qualifying games. But wait you must be thinking to yourself, wait a minute, you just said football, don't you mean some NFL games, or College Football games?

To answer simply, NO.

What most Americans call Soccer, I call Football. However in day to day conversations with others I have to accent it so it sounds more like "Futbol" which I find pretty shite. Makes me wonder why most americans can't think like the rest of the world for a change, I mean everyone else calls it football, why can't Americans? So in any case, I'm bringing back the football or at least trying to, and live up to my Belgian heritage as I try to follow Standard de Liege, my family's (except for my uncle) team, and the Belgian National Team even tho we kinda suck lol, so I support Nederlands most of the time in international competitions because thats usually who the Indonesians support (and some Belgians), (despite the Dutch being the Indonesian colonial rulers for several centuries.) In any case, there's no such thing as soccer, you can call it "futbol" if you want, but it will always be the REAL football to the rest of the world.


Emblem of Standard de Liege, you'll probably see me wearing one of their jerseys.

Emblem of the Belgian National Team, I also own one of these Jerseys

Emblem of the Dutch National Team, looking forward to getting a jersey!
