In Bend It Like Beckham...?

why is the store that the girls go shopping in called a "soccer" store? Don't Europeans refer to the sport as "football"?

    Strange when I saw the movie awhile back I didn't even notice that. I really loved the movie.

    As an American, your right we don't know the difference.

    AmySue, The film was made by an Indian. We Indians accept both the terms "soccer" and "football". So chill out.

    Yes, we do, but it was probably called this for the benefit of our American friends who seem to have a problem understanding the difference between hands and feet.

    yes, they do.

    was probably done so that poor braindead americans and to a certain extent, ignorrant australians, wouldn't get confused and think they were talking about gridiron or rugby league.
