Kid, you're not a wiseguy, no one owes you "loyalty." And yes, this is a football film. For your terminology I guess it would be "American Football."

Look above where you replied to Ragingbull for considering it "football." He is an American, what do you want him to call it? "Uh, it's a great Run-as-many-yards-to-get-closer-to-a-touchdown movie"?

I say it's a football movie, which it is here. The fact that soccer is known as football outside the country means nothing.
