Why is it still called the Ballon d’Or and not the golden ball? It’s a well known fact that English is the most dominant language in Europe, so why does this award still have an irrelevant language name?
>le history
The World Cup was invented by a French guy, but you don’t see it being called the Coupe du monde

What does it matter? Why everything needs to be standardized? I thought americans were against this type of stuff for using Imperial system and playing their crazy retarded sports.

Great, more american francophobia.
France Football created the award and ran it for more than 50 years before handing it over to fifa (guess what that stands for). It's an hommage (or tribute in your illiterate retardese) to the people that made it happen.

They're one of the best teams on their continent but globally speaking they are still weak.

I recommend watching more A-League games. The standard of football makes for an enjoyable spectacle.

MLS gives me this feeling too. It's so terrible that it's so entertaining

it's funny you say that. we had an australian in the group since he was in town for school and everytime we went on a trip he would do gay shit, like jump in the shower when someone was in it and spank their ass or tug on their dick or something. he would usually play a song like

on his phone when he did it so it was funny instead of gay, but ya. that australian dude.

Most sports federations, FIFA included, have French names. French is just a popular language among the executives.
