>call the sport football
>football is not a word in your language
someone explain

I don't know, ask the sudacas. We call it Fußball, Jimjohn Jackson.

>be a democratic republic
>call your team Real Salt Lake

What's the point in even having those games though? The league was already decided.

For me, it's Futebol (foo-chi-BOUWU)

based and foo-chi-BOUWU-pilled

>if we spell it with our own letter it means it's our word!

At least the italians have their own word for the sport. Any derivative of "football" is fucking cringe if you aren't anglo.

Do you mean association?

>no draws
???

Didn't know the latin alphabet could be English or German instead of, well, latin.
Thanks bro.

>ß

That's not fucking latin my friend.

The reason it happened like that is because English people went to other countries and created clubs there that they literally called 'Football Club'. It pretty much got forced into their languages. Also, even the word 'soccer' originated in England, and the only reason it became common in America is because gridiron became more popular, which is itself only called football because it's a derivative of rugby which is itself a derivative of 'soccer'. The reason the word soccer exists is because in the early days both association football and rugby football were known as football, rather than saying 'association' every time they just took the 'soc' out of association and started saying soccer. Soccer is a fine word for the sport, you fat cunts can call it what you like but it pisses me off that some retarded British people now hate the word soccer because of it.

>third from bottom with a few games left
>deliberately throw games so you can get a better draft pick

>s and z aren't in the latin alphabet
Shit dude, I didn't know! Thanks for the free education, something you never had.

Americans have sports communism cause these glory hunters wouldnt watch it else

this doesn't happen

I dont understand how it can be entertaining to watch the same 2-5 teams dominate their respective leagues every single year? How are fans of west ham or crystal palace supposed to have any hope for any season when it's over before any games are played? And teams awarded the best player, they still have to pick out the right guys and not fuck up the development of their talent. Teams dont go from worst to first overnight.

Anyone who went to a good school will call it Soccer, or Association if you went to Eton.

clubs don't actually exist, they are all parts of one entity called the league. think of it as cells in a body instead some form of union between individuals.

>be the best young talent
>have to play alongside with trashinho in garbage fc

In the US, you have franchises, where economic profit is paramount. In Europe, we understand sport as a cultural asset, we have a base with many volunteers, government subsidies and a club and association that is deeply rooted in society

It's literally impossible for an american to understand european football I'm afraid

How many people is that though? Most people still call it football. Most people have other nicknames for it. If you're a commoner ask your dad what his mates called it in the 70s and 80s or whatever, he'll most likely say soccer. Why do you think the Sky shows are called 'Soccer AM' and 'Soccer Saturday'?

The two best teams play for the championship on the field.

Relegation would cause teams to fold here, our interests are too spread out amongst different sports.The NFL could probably make it work, but that's it. For the rest of the world cities live and breathe a single sport and the teams are directly tied to their social identity. Even if they're in the third/fourth division, the interest will always be there.

This is a bit of a myth about sport in Europe. Football is the 'universal' European sport, but most towns and cities have other sports that are only really popular on a regional or national level. For example in England Rugby and cricket are just as if not more popular than football in some places, there are plenty of other sports around Europe such as some of your American ones like basketball and hockey, handball is popular too. I could go on but I don't know about every sport in every place.

good point that

This. In Yankland the leagues own the teams. Hence why they're called franchises and also why there's no such thing as promotion/relegation.

Then you haven't been paying attention.

>Football Club
>Soccer Club
>Childish Nickname
which is most cringe

All of them. There's no way Americans can be into footy and not be cringe.

Even their way of deciding ties was embarrassing: youtube.com/watch?v=RRITqS6WEn0

Still waiting for the mighty Inter Miami to dominate the MLS

I would actually say that this is the one good thing the MLS ever did. Explain to me how this isn't a million times better than fucking penalties?

High is most cringe?
London American Football Club
London Redcoats

They won't give the London handegg franchise a name like 'redcoats' because nobody in England knows about American independence history so it would make no sense.

It’s actually the most capitalist system, as it values commerce (ticket sales, TV deals, etc.) over actual team performance. All a team has to do is make money and it can be in the NFL.

FC stands for Fußballclub here, Fußball being an actual word in the German language.

Houston also names their My Little Sawker club the same as the sporting union of the East German police/security agencies

this is how they decided ties in the league phase as well
early MLS had no draws

>ß and SS may as well be used interchangeably
>Swiss people use SS in all cases over ß
Yea that only letter that is different from the latin alphabet absolutely doesn't imply the use of two latin letters

They have socialism for the rich.
>Too big to fail
>Bailouts
>Subsidies for big oil, big farmers, etc

>Can't let a franchise relegate because the owner would lose money
>Must maintain an appearance of "equal chances" to not alienate costumers for the different owners

Yeah I know, that part was dumb.
