Most soccer fans appreciate great sport in general.

However like fans of any sport, a small number of soccer fans who laugh about NFL guys wearing padding clearly don't understand the game well enough to make valid points about it.

I'm very sure the same goes for NFL fans who constantly go on about diving in soccer. Works both ways.

Diving is a tiny part of soccer and part of an otherwise fantastic game that most of the rest of the world (read: 4 billion) watches avidly and fanatically.

Now you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see which is the most popular sport. Any argument you have about it must be measure against the fact that two thirds of the population of the world knows you are wrong.

One more thing while I'm here:

The name of our game is football. We use our feet to play it. That's why WE call it football.

Your game is also called football, but yet you play it with your hands!

I guess that's something else the rest of the world thinks is hilarious as well.
