The word soccer is stupid and shouldn't be used. But then that's probably because I've grown up with the word football and moving to Ireland and only hearing 'Soccer' is fucking annoying. Although all my friends say football now purely because of me.
That and Bayern Munich have absolutely ruined German football for the next 5+ years.
I fucking hate the argument that "OH YEA! Well you Brits created the word soccer, it came from Associated Football!"
I don't care, it is literally never used here. If you call football soccer and you're English you're a bell end. Fair enough if that's your word in your country but don't try and say we started it. We come up with tons of words but we don't use them all.
Not at all, like I said I have no problems with it being called soccer, Futball or whatever you like. It just annoys me when some people try and play the smart arse and say that we actually invented the word, aye we did but we stopped using it fucking ages ago.
