This. Except my dad is not a Germanican.

The Bundesliga is the best competition to watch in the world. Dortmund are (rightfully) fawned over and this season they're languishing. If you took out Bayern Munich's money you'd have undisputedly the coolest league around. I really love the way teams don't attempt to play like Spain, Barca, or Arsenal. Tika-taka is so boring. There is skill required for a long ball that drops perfectly at the foot of a striker, or a through ball that skittles past defenders, draws out a keeper, and lets a forward finish-ala-Thierry Henry.

Saying that, I don't watch it enough to watch a single side enough so I don't have a team.

The other good league is the Eredivisie. Heaps of wing play and beautifully lofted balls, but the pedigree of players is obviously that nudge lower.

Eredivisie is cool to watch because the defending is mostly below par. Very nice attacking football played all round.

Still think the EPL is the best just because of the variety of players and the whole spectical of it.

AFL, NHL, F1 and V8 Supercars satisfies me. Never understood the appeal of soccer or basketball.

I don't understand the appeal of V8 supercars

Still more exciting than F1 atm. Nothing quite like seeing blokes manhandle ridiculously overpowered 1400kg sedans around a circuit where the top 20 is often within two seconds of each other.

I don't follow motorsport so I didn't even know Mercs were a part of it now.

I'm a Australian/European and I call it Football. I'm sure many on here agree.
+ Americans and Canadians are mixed up. The NFL uses hands as well.

I call it soccer just to not confuse anyone.

 

[cannavo]

The blame for the word "Soccer" goes to the British. In Oxford, since 1875 adding -er to the end of stuff became popular
eg. $5 notes and $10 notes = Fivers and Tenners. Or nicknaming people eg. Redmayne = Redders. Soccer is short for Association-er with an added C
The more you know.

Call it what it is to be called in light of the context. If I'm talking to British people or a soccer specific forum i'll call it football. We're on an Australian site - it's soccer on here.

I saw this in a shop in Tea Tree Plaza today.

Not my best work ever and using existing IP, but my work.

Haha did you mention it that you designed it?

 

[El_Scorcho]

The middle aged lady behind the counter would have had absolutely no idea what was going on if I did.

I was able to point it out to my wife and run in and grab that photo though.

If it were an original design, not using the existing PAFC IP I might have questioned it, but they're ripping off the club, not me. Similarly to the mugs that were being sold with designs from here in the other thread we had about it.

I was just shocked to see it easily visible from the mall in the shop outside Target.
