[edit] Disinformation!

Just because it's called "football", "fitbaw" or "futeball", doesn't make it soccer. In fact, most of the pre-1867 games played in Scotland, which were called "football" didn't have much in common with soccer other than goals, two sides and a ball. The ball was carried as much as kicked. It's time this mythology was put to bed. --MacRusgail (talk) 19:42, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
