Paalikles,
Norwegian: fotball Dutch: voetbal German: fussball French: football English: football American: soccer |
@Paalikles ~ I got it right 1/2 of the post. I called it football once and soccer once.

Matrix, all those European words have the same meaning afaik - foot and ball in combination
The american word for football is just stupid. Sorry Mistfit, dont mean to shout and all that in your forum, but I really dislike american "cultural imperialism" |
How is it any less "cultural imperialism" when you try to force your name for a given sport on me?
|
metric system, imperial system..tomato, tamotto..pool, pond...its all the same.
|
actually, the word "soccer" may actually come from the word football [crazyeye]

yes, but soccer = Associated Football, so what's the problem with that word being used to describe football?

Wrong is that football is played with hands, I mean American variety of course.
