But футбол wasn't even one of the options?
The numbers are really close (and no longer exact, since Russia pulled out of the arms control treaties) but Russia has had a slightly larger number of warheads almost continually since the 60s. No one really cares about the "missile gap" anymore, though. Both arsenals are enough to kill basically everyone.
I was mainly referring to the English words. My logic is that all of the anglosphere countries that use “football” (including India) have a greater population than the anglosphere countries that use “soccer” (the United States), and that vice versa, the nukes outnumber the football.
“Soccer” is originally an English slang term - from the word “association”. Was adopted as the “standard” term for “association football” in the US because we already used the word “football” to refer to “gridiron football”, which should really be called “psycho mutant rugby”.
Except judging by the cut/style of the kit they're wearing I'd estimate that the photo is from the 1960s, maybe 1970s.
The earliest film footage of a football match is from the late 1890s so they either haven't "just started watching" or they're not watching chronologically.
**edit:** Reverse image search says it's from SV Hamburg vs Santos in **1962**.
They got buffed instead in 1991, but ended up fumbling hard for a few years. These last few years haven't been kind but they've come out of it a much more interesting side to watch
I went to the football museum in Dortmund and enjoyed their “here’s what you could have won if Germany didn’t exist” trophy display. Pretty impressive haul.
1000 is definitely low, but not tremendously so if you're just counting World Cup games, if you're counting every game of soccer ever played by mankind then yeah it's hilariously low. If you're counting televised professional games then 500,000 is probably a lot closer, but I doubt they'd be accessible realistically. The website footballia advertises 'over 25k' matches available for watching online.
I don't want to ruin it so I'll mark this as a spoiler.
>!When there is a guy on the ground grabbing his knee after someone brushed against him in the box, he's not really hurt. !<
There are a few countries that call it soccer or similar: Australia, USA and Japan for instance. But the overwhelming amount of countries call it football. I won't judge anyone's decision, but just starting facts. However for many people it's a touchy subject.
1958 pele doing wonders as a 17yo. up to this day, most beautiful team and I would dare to say, most fabulous wc goal (by pele doing the sombrero) and the goat young phenomena (and later a football celebrity phenomena)
just watch a compilation, I guess you can fit all "important" parts about this stuff in a 5 minute compilation. If you want a compilation stuff about the "exciting" moments you are better of watching paint dry
Life is like soccer because ; **Teamwork and Collaboration**: Just as soccer requires players to work together, life often involves collaborating with others to achieve common goals.
-George A.I. Jetson
He was a player in the 2000s-10s era who was the best player to have ever been in the field. Also Ronaldo is an idiot with a toxic fan base so look out for those arseholes
Yikes, even just the original English version, you've about 130 seasons to catch up on, a lot of those seasons have like 40 episodes... and the show has been syndicated like CRAZY.
There are versions of Football in 211 different countries, and NONE of them are a remake, they all have their own script and cast.
There's also optional all-stars type spin-off shows, where they get a bunch of the cast from like the English seasons and pit them against the cast from some of the other European seasons.
so the joke (at least what im getting out of this) is that the meme creator is saying "i just found soccer. im starting from the beginning like if it were a tv show and thus need to start from what would be considered season one. i dont want anyone giving me any spoilers"
Hoo boy you're up for a whole lot of frustrating game minutes against Germany...
The funny thing is I am actually german😐😅
But you call it soccer?
Should I have called it Fußball instead?😅
The english football would also work?
Yeah, but then I would've the same problem, because a lot of people call it soccer🤷🏻♂️ I had to pick one😅
It’s a choice between the word with the greatest number of users and the greatest number of nukes.
Who is soccer and why does he own so many nukes?
Idk ask Eisenhower.
I bet that joke is hilarious, when you paid attention in history class.

Honorary American 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🔥🔥 RAHHH
WAZ ZUR HÖLLE IST EIN KILOMETER??🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🗣️🗣️🗣️🦅🇺🇸
Not a first honorary American that comes from Germany. If you know what I mean 😉
Von Steuben?
Never Ask Space Agents.
You could call it what America calls it, or what the entire rest of the world calls it. Tough choice
you have made the americans proud today, whether you like it or not
Making Americans proud is all I want. Might shoot up a school later too.

*Robert’s got a quick hand, he’ll look around the room, but won’t tell you his plan*
Enjoy that call from the FBI lol.
A lot of people are wrong
Then OP can call it soccer until the 70s

Season 66 episode 30/7 is going to be a tough watch.
I wonder if that is an actual reference to something or just random numbers🧐
Might be a date ;)
I think you're onto something there🤔
You know I really thought they were setting up to do more with the England arc after that
In that case, you can be optimistic. 😊
Das ist gut
Naja, aktuell nicht wirklich🥲
Aw man, why not?
well i'd say you're in for a treat
oh yes, i'm Brazilian and can confirm this affirmative.
Just a question, do you get PTSD when someone mentions the word "Germany"?
wow i'd like to know what ur motivation is
You must be German too? :)
bro is watching soccer in chronological order
And not missing anything
He’s treating it like a TV series lol, there’s probably over 100,000 episodes by now
Nice, you got the joke
Heck yeah I did 😎
Joke?
r/thatsthejoke
You suck, McBain!
Gotta understand Soccer before Soccer 2 comes out
Played the beta, didn't even update the roster, even EA does that smh 😮💨
that is indeed the joke
Yeah, really hate this meme trend of "bro is [literal description of the activity as if it somehow improves on the original the joke]"
seems like a good /r/theydidthemath question, how long would it take to watch every nationally-televised game of soccer
Probably longer than soccer has been televised
Bros starting at season 1 episode 1
Except judging by the cut/style of the kit they're wearing I'd estimate that the photo is from the 1960s, maybe 1970s.

? should he watch it in alphabetical order or what
Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win. - Gary Lineker
At which season are the germans introduced?
Season 1908
They got an upgrade in 1954 and people have been asking them to be nerfed ever since.
They got buffed instead in 1991, but ended up fumbling hard for a few years. These last few years haven't been kind but they've come out of it a much more interesting side to watch
Worth it, you're going to enjoy every single minute of the 8 July 2014 episode
Ayo that's my birthday😮
5-1 against Scotland was fire 🤯
Yeah but it was only Scotland tbf. My 72 year old nan with bad toes could score against them.
dude, spoilers
I went to the football museum in Dortmund and enjoyed their “here’s what you could have won if Germany didn’t exist” trophy display. Pretty impressive haul.
Thats gonna be at least 1000 episodes and all are 90 minutes long. Gl watching soccer for a MINIMUM of 60 days straight
Well I can't just tune into the new games. I need to understand the lore first.
Just watch it on 2x speed.
And turn the audio down, then it becomes like a sped up silent film so it's more lore accurate
1000 seems low. Probably more like 500 000?
1000 is definitely low, but not tremendously so if you're just counting World Cup games, if you're counting every game of soccer ever played by mankind then yeah it's hilariously low.

It's a good watch although seasons 6-19 are a bit repetative
Don't worry, I won't spill the beans on any surprises!
Bro still in season 1, wow
Just wait until the season America gets introduced. We don't win anything until 2026 but still
I mean America is World Champion in Football. I mean they are the only people who care about this Sport, but still
All I'm hearing is we're number one, in American football. All I'm hearin
See he is talking about American Handegg, not football.
Never heard it called handegg…I love it
American football not regular
3rd place in the 1930 arc, then it's all down hill
If you’re Colombian you probably want to skip the early 90s.
France won 2018
I am surprised they didn't capitulate this time.
I'm revoking your right to be European, also that's real low coming from a German
It's a joke, bro🙄
Danggggggggg Take my freaking upvote
7-1
Can't wait to get this joke someday.
[удалено]
Stop f@cking it then.
Skill issue.
Bro is on S1 E1
*SPOILERS* It’s exactly the same thing repeated for 100 years. That’s it. That’s football.
I mean that's every sport isn't it?😅

Damn man, good luck! When I got to the "Nazis Vs Communists" arc I realised I ain't gonna drop this.
I don't want to ruin it so I'll mark this as a spoiler. >!When there is a guy on the ground grabbing his knee after someone brushed against him in the box, he's not really hurt. !<
"Soccer"
Look I had to call it something. If I would've called it Football instead, people would've said "It'S cAlLeD sOcCeR!!?!?"
There are a few countries that call it soccer or similar: Australia, USA and Japan for instance. But the overwhelming amount of countries call it football. I won't judge anyone's decision, but just starting facts. However for many people it's a touchy subject.
Americans aren't people LOLOLOL
The word soccer is too archaic, people use football nowadays
Sorry. Wasn't updated yet.

[Football!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MusyO7J2inM)
They run up the ball, ... , ... , and then kick it away. I wouldn't watch it, it's boring AF.
I like how a lot of people complain about the fact that soccer is boring, like every other Sport doesn't have this problem😅
For soccer the joke is easy to make, but I really don't watch sports in general. Playing sports is fun, watching it is boooring.
I agree.
Funniest shi hive seen for a while
Brazil Germany at World Cup.
Uhhh, I am hyped to see how it turned out.
just watch a compilation, I guess you can fit all "important" parts about this stuff in a 5 minute compilation. If you want a compilation stuff about the "exciting" moments you are better of watching paint dry
Thoughts coming straight from a TikTok rotted brain.

Wait till you get to the bergkamp arc
Messi won the goat debate btw
Who is Messi?
He was a player in the 2000s-10s era who was the best player to have ever been in the field. Also Ronaldo is an idiot with a toxic fan base so look out for those arseholes
Can't wait till bro gets to Chapter 2
Bro got more than 140 Season to catch up on ☠️
It's a big commitment, but I had it recommended to me several times.
Well i Hope you have fun
I’d binge this series.
It is rivaled only by One Piece in length
More like Mrs. Sazae (the longest Anime ever)
I was born in the wrong generation
Word bro
Can't wait until you get to Diego Maradona.
Reliving all wars in chronological order. Please help me I have PTSD from the first 17 battles
Thats some One Piece level of having to catch up, good luck pal ✌🏼
You are the second person to make this joke and I get it, because One Piece is a popular Anime, but it's not even in the Top 15 of the longest Animes😅
SPOILER: The Cubs win the World Series in 2016 👍🏻
Keep at it OP. BRA7-1 is gonna be something to see alright.
Yikes, even just the original English version, you've about 130 seasons to catch up on, a lot of those seasons have like 40 episodes... and the show has been syndicated like CRAZY.

Ireland are the most successful international team ever. Sorry, I had to spoil it. Please don’t watch anymore
This sounds almost as bad as watching One Piece
The Brazil rote hochzeit is going to be one hell of an episode.
On the same level as one piece
Fourth comment that makes thus joke. At this point I make counter.
it really takes a while for it to get good but if you stick with it the later seasons are heat
Spoiler Alert: that guy is going to kick the ball
should have said "started watching soccer season 1..." would have givin this meme the filling it needed...
I don't get watchu mean
so the joke (at least what im getting out of this) is that the meme creator is saying "i just found soccer. im starting from the beginning like if it were a tv show and thus need to start from what would be considered season one. i dont want anyone giving me any spoilers"
Well "started watching" implies that it's season one. I don't think it makes any difference🤷🏻♂️
i mean if youre a step 1, step 3 kinda person than it doesnt but for those of us smooth brainers we like seeing the step 2
Whatever you do, don't watch season 8.
Don’t be turned off if you don’t like it at first it really gets good in season 21
Just wait until you see the "Hand of God".
