    That's pretty much it.

    Also the goal posts in American Football are Y shaped as opposed to H shaped.

    What you have described is, in fact, a Y.

    So apart from the shape of the goal, the shape of the ball, the fact you can score by running over a line and you can carry the ball in your hands....American football is indistinguishable from football.....and does not resemble rugby in any shape or form. #sarcasmmode

    Forward passes Fran, blocking off the ball, and no broken play. A totally different game.

    Not to the eye. A ‘Y’ has arms going up at 45 degrees. A ‘H’ has them going straight up and from a wider position.

    I was being pedantic to PL, but seems you stumbled into my web Chilcs :)

    England Hockey beat Argentina 3-2 to reach World Cup semi-finals. Good result against the Olympic Champions. My lad and I saw a 3-3 draw between these sides couple of summers back. Exciting stuff.
