It's called football for a reason, you make contact with the ball with your foot not hand.
The UK = Football
The USA = Soccer
They are the same though.

See thats how much interest I have in sport and I dont knock anyone for watching it or knowing about it

I knew what Gaelic football is, but generally 100% of the UK calls it football. Only the Americans would call it soccer.

If BB is only on for 1hr each evening then maybe i can survive but i always thought it was on for 2-3hrs at a time.

World Cup? That's rammed down our throats on several channels

Completely different in my opinion, the World Cup is only on for about 4 weeks every 4 years and not every night on the same channel for 3 months, so you can't compare it.
Anyway if BB only affects 1hr each evening on the same channel then i guess it is bearable!

A celebrity edition could be on air within months, while a series with everyday people is set to be broadcast on the summer of 2012.
Former host Davina McCall has backed the plans and tipped 'Big Brother's Little Brother' co-host Emma Willis to take over the presenting duties.

SOCCER
Is actually the English derived name for the sport not American.
It is derived from the term Association Football.
Back in the day you has Association Football and Rugby Football (or depending when Rugby Union Football and Rugby League Football).
Soccer or Rugger
So in the UK, and the rest of the world, the terms Soccer and Football are equally valid for our National Sport.

Re: Big Brother: Channel 5 close to deal
Always a laugh about how the English get upset at others using the word football - it's not your word! They always claim no-one in the UK uses the word soccer whereas a quick glance at the TV listings will prove them wrong.
Go to America - Football will be NFL
Go to Australia - Football will be Aussie Rules
Go to Canada - Football will be CFL
Go to Ireland - Football will be Gaelic
Go to New Zealand - Football will be Rugby Union

With Comic Relief (which was the reason for the first and last celeb BB) only a few months away. Coincidence?
