Speaking of soccer vs. football... I never quite understood how a sport where you only use your feet was named to soccer and a sport where you most of the time use your hands was named football. I just love the logic

It's not called soccer, it's called football. Even Sven knew that (well, maybe).

Also, rugby is really rugby football to distinguish it from real football.
