I call it football unironically when I'm with people irl

>>76552534
When you muricans will stop calling your "football" "football" instead of "handegg"?

>>76552598

>>76552534

The whole world, except 3 or 4 countries, calls it football, you ignoramus

>>76553048
In all fairness, the Italians call it calcio. Unlike all the countries OP mentions, Italy IS a relevant footballing nation.

Football is a code of all sorts of sports where at some point a ball is kicked

Association Football
Rugby Football
Australian Football
Canadian Football
Gaelic Football
American Football

What "Football" refers to depends on the nation, but because of the British empire "football" meaning soccer is the most commonly spread understanding.

>>76553354
Thanks Texas, this makes up for Neoliberalism

I call it football because I define my national identity by how I differ from Americans

It's called サッカ baka gaijin.

>>76553502
>I'm a contrarian who wants to be different from Americans
>I'm gonna do the thing contrarian Americans do

/pol/'s nationalism has to be the stupidest meme on earth. It makes 19th and 20th century nationalism look logical

And Hitler was making up some pretty crazy bullshit about Germans

>>76553223
No we don't cunt. We did a while ago but there's been an agenda to change it. All the P.E teachers force kids to call it Football now

Aristocrats tended to play sports on horseback. "Football" referred to the ball games the peasants played on foot. Nothing to do with kicking.

>>76553071
This. If Americans wanted us to speak their stupid language then maybe they should have built an empire.

Umm, you are speaking English... so you know, the English people make the rules of it

and they call it football

>>76553600
So handball and basketball are also football

>>76553565
>there's been an agenda to change it
why? do you hate americans that much?

>>76553600
This is a myth. Football was created by the British aristocracy in the most expensive universities.

>>76553622
What's America got to do with it?

>>76553642
only americans call it soccer

>>76553613
>an Argentinian submitting himself to the English
Makes sense.

>>76553619
It could have been had it been played in 18th/19th century England, but it wasn't. The concept of what qualifies as 'football' was already established before basketball was invented.

Hey Mr. Potato Head, third world refers to countries who weren't allied with West or USSR during cold war.

Only countries that don't matter call it "soccer".

Nah son miss me with that gay shit

Who divegrass master race here? It's the only name for the sport that everyone can agree on.

At the very least, Murrican concussionegg should then be "footegg" because it's played with an egg.

Depends on the context. Totaalvoetbal is called トータルフットボール in Japan.

Amerilards are retards.

>>76557485

The term actually originated in the UK, and they originally called the sport soccer.

whatever you call it it will always be more popular than your "sports"
get over it amerifats

I only call it soccer because we also have football. In europe where they don't have another football, It makes sense they call it that. Sounds nice to say desu

>>76552534
Ameretards to /asp/ when

>most of the world's favorite sport is from England
>all the sports made in their countries are irrelevant
how cucked can y'all be?

>>76552534
Last I checked the language was called English. I'll speak it the way Englishmen do.

>>76557524
calling it football is literally just an ancient meme in response to real (american) football

>>76552534
Actually, the entire world bar a few countries call it 'football' or a derivative of 'football'.

Soccer is a nickname. The full name of the sport is 'association football', soccer is a shortened version of 'association', 'soc', 'soccer'.

It's literally the same as us insisting you call your football 'American football' because that's what the rest of the world calls it.

Most English-speaking countries have a local sport they call 'football'. What you really need to do is stop being a bunch of fucking faggots about it. Language is fluid and dynamic, all the matters is that the person you're speaking to understands you. When we say'football' it is understood what is meant by our target audience.

>>76553600
This is completely false. Fact-check before you go spreading bullshit. It's called football because you kick a ball with your foot.

>>76559163
then why is it called cricket and not ballpaddle?

>>76559132
>When we say'football' it is understood what is meant by our target audience.
No it isn't because your accent is shit to understand.

>>76557524
Yes, but it originated as a nickname, not as the sport's actual name.

>>76559169
Because that's what they decided to call it? How the fuck should I know? They decided to call it football because it's a foot and ball sport. It doesn't mean every sport follows this naming convention.

>>76552534
Why call it football when the players wear shoes? Soccer makes sense because the players do in fact have socks.

>>76559170
You are poor, your voice is irrelevant.

>>76553753
>is literally not a ball
day of the rake can't come soon enough

>>76559132
Who cares what a bunch of non-English speakers call it, most native English speakers call it "soccer", your opinion became irrelevant when you fled the beach at Dunkirk

>>76562549
anyone who writes favorite instead of fauvorite is not speaking English
