You fail Epic XD. Read the subtitle of the actual image. If you read the very second comment, he did the same exact thing that you did. He mentioned that he made a mistake. So for you…DOUBLE FAIL.

Actually Juventus is well know as Vecchia Seniora(Signora) which comes to be Old Lady. There’s no fail here,the truly fail was the guy who uploaded this as an attempt to post,but he failed epicly.
Bate is a football club. F.C Bate his whole name. No Fail at picture,Fail is the guy who uploaded.

I´m European, I got the funny part, I dont mind you calling our football, soccer, I think you do have a bit of a weight-problem in your country but I dont think we should blame it on America though.. We can always blame it on Napoleon or global warming.

I think the pun was intentional, and if it was changed soon after, it was a result of an editor seeing it as inappropriate headline content, rather than seeing that there was accidental punnery involved. Fail on all your houses.

It’s not really a fail though, more like a win for a good joke. There’s no way that wasn’t intentional.

By: Cyda-Cider83

Cyda-Cider83 — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 06:08:23 +0000

Look, I just spent a lot of time reading down through the comments and arguments.

We all get it, there was a mistake in the typing and it’s being read as ‘Masterbate’. So what?

And! So what if we Americans called our type of football ‘football’? It’s not like we’re torturing you by calling it that, are we? We’re not stabbing you with it by calling it football.
And I have got a question for Europeans who gave a hearty argument about this. Why is it so wrong to call football ‘soccer’. I used to even play soccer and our team was Team Brazil! I even tried to make my coach call it football instead of soccer. So just leave us alone. We’re not doing nothing wrong by calling sports different names.

So just grow up, will you?!

It’s just like being a racist! Judging others by what they look like and not really knowing whats underneath.

And for all of you who said that Americans are fat! I happen to know a very large amount of people trying to lose weight or have already lost weight.

So bug off!

Its the phrase that matters and the literal meaning that counts! Seriously cant people just look at the picture ,laugh post something random and go on? instead the start a hole discussion about fail or no fail… i bet third word war will start in a blog….

And it’s not football (as in ball played with feet).

It’s football (as in ball played on foot as opposed to ball played on horseback, as the nobles would play it).

opps but then again it is soccer.

Calling Americans “arrogant” for doing something perfectly equivalent to what most Europeans and others do as well, in all cases innocently, *is* yank-bashing.

By: Charlene

“Not putting Americans first and treating them as if they were naturally superior to everyone else” does not equal “yank-bashing”.

Apostrophe fail:

. when Americans call their just “football”

By: Daniel

Daniel — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 18:38:14 +0000

Really, the most popular sport in the world is yank-bashing, isn’t it?

But there are *many* different football games, not just association football and American football. It isn’t *arrogant* that most association football fans outside of America call their game just “football”, and use some different term for Gaelic football, &c. And it isn’t *arrogant* when American’s call their just “football”, and use some different term for Gaelic football, &c. We talk about American football a h_ck of a lot more than we do about association football or any other football game, so we the first just “football”. You talk about association football a lot more than about any other football game, so you call it just “football”. The name “soccer” wasn’t invented by Americans; we got it from Europeans. And it’s quicker and easier than “association football”.

You ought to consider whence your inference of peculiar American *arrogance* where there is a symmetry of behavior.

Eh, it’s certainly descended from a game very much like rugby. But Teddy Roosevelt threatened to regulate that if it weren’t made less dangerous, and the end result was the weird thing that we have now.
