Okay, so I only know how to say football in football different langauges (British English, German, American English, Pig Latin) but that is beside the point. I don't live in Scotland *begins to sob* and I really don't know much about European Soccer/Football so... TELL ME ALL THERE IS TO KNOW!

Just kidding that would take ages... All I know is:

CAN YOU HEAR THE NOISE OF THE TARTAN ARMY BOYS?!?

Hehe, by the way, I've been granted internet on weekends (I am also well aware it's Wednesday but tomorrow is mein Geburstag so I'm playing it up a bit...) so I'll try to get on as often as I can!

Personally, I can't help you there, but if you wanted to learn about the American (and now Canadian) Major League Soccer, I could tell you a bit. sweatdrop

If you're still interested, I could tell you a bit. It's a lot like American soccer. The biggest difference is that it is more physical. The ref doesn't call as many fouls and the players have more talent. Other than that, all the rules are the same. Out of bounds, off-side(s), goals, slide tackles, etc.

i could tell you loads if you want to know, i'm scottish and live in scotland.
here's some:

in scotland the main football league is called the SPL (scottish premier league) before teams go into the SPL they are in division thre, then they work their way up into division two, then division one until they reach the SPL.

the 2 rival teams that most people support are called the Glasgow Rangers (also called rangers, the teddy bears[after their mascot] RFC) and Celtic Football Club (aka the bhoys, CFC) i support rangers 3nodding

if you search this stuff on the internet, you might come across some stuff to do with religion, that's because a long time ago, a lot of people who liked celtic were roman catholic, and people who supported rangers were protestant. a lot of rivalry was there and it was really messy and bad, so if you find anything like that don't pay attention to it

some of the other teams i can name off the top of my head are aberdeen, hibernian, hearts of midlothian(they get called hearts), inverness caledonian thistle(they get called cally thistle)... as for the scottish national team, we're the best XDD we get called the tartan army, and the mascot's a lion. blaugh

and about the rules, to be honest i dont know much about that. but i know its not like american football where they pretty much attack each other for the ball. neutral

well i hope that helped. wink
