"Football" means something different in Europe right??????

 

Yes. It means the sport that was codified on the basis of the original game which actually involved using feet to kick a ball between villages, rather than the odd derivative of the sport codified on the basis of William Webb Ellis's endeavours at handling the ball. Even in Rugby Football kicking is a fairly common and spontaneous occurrence which to some extent justifies the name 'football'. Not really sure how a sport where a specialized kicker or punter is brought on once in a blue moon can merit that name.
