That’s interesting, because somebody told me there was no football in the U.K.

Yeah, Rugby is not regarded as our national sport, and more people recognise players like Beckham and Owen, then some bloke with cauliflower ears.
And our football is the genuine article, it’s been around since the 14th century (long before America existed), but rugby has never been known as football, and football has been around longer then American Football and is much bigger sport worldwide.
Also Rugby derived from Football in 1823 when a boy named William Webb-Ellis played football at Rugby school and picked up the ball and ran with it whilst football.
Sorry I have to defend football here as I’m completely mad for the game, but I’m just stating facts.
And unlike Rugby and American Football, true football is played by every developed (and some undeveloped) countries worldwide.
