Technically, that means "Ball with feet".

And to be honest, that question is not that stupid. By law, every English word/expression must have a French "equivalent".

So I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere, someone called it "Balle au pied", or something ridiculous like that.

He's alright. Though when Johnny-I-invent-new-injuries-for-science comes back, he might go back on the bench.

And I could swear I saw Sébastien Chabal in that 300 trailer...

A lefty like you should really support Aston Villa. They're American-owned too, but at least are not the commercial juggernaut Manure are.

Both mean the same. If you want to get technical "Balle a pied", means "Feeted ball" (as in "Machine a vapeur", "steam engine"). Whereas "Balle avec pied" means "ball with feet". It's almost exactly the same, but not quite.

Still, I like to call it "Foutte-beaulle", but "Footie" sounds cuter. Yes, i'm ghey like that, that's 11 years of living in ghey Paris for you.

Surrendering is "un-Frenchy"?! Totem, are you mellowing in your twilight years?
