The football one is because America took rugby made the players wear helmets and called it American Football so they have to call normal football something else.

The term was invented in England, exported to the US, and then England dropped it.

Football

I was expecting the one at the bottom to be the Italian "Calcio."

 

[Liquid]

Or the Icelandic knattspyrna.

There are plenty of languages which use their own words for association football and not the calque 'football'; voetball, futbal, fussball and so on...

fussball

??

 

[Liquid]

Fußball = German for association football. Fuß + ball. How literal.

What you posted is known in places like the UK as table football.

 

[Beerz]

Or as we call it here in Portugal, matraquilhos.

 

[Liquid]

Oh, and foosball/Fußball takes a German word stemming from the English word football, but the German name for table football is 'Kicker'.

Madness.

Oh and remember that photo of the bear falling out of a tree I posted a few pages ago? yeah

It's pebolim over here.

Maybe if America invaded one-quarter of the world, converted their beliefs, changed their language, denied their currency, forced them to pay taxes to their demigod, then perhaps America could be as great as England in the World Cup.

And this is the part where I (sorta) save the thread:

 

[Beerz]

Sweet, huh?

It's pebolim over here.

Yup, Scolari taught me that one.

 

[Dennisch]

 

[GregTheStig]

I wonder how many people are going to report that

 

[G.T.Ace]

Madness.

"Kicker" only because of a suisse manufacturer, the real term is "Tischfußball".

I've got 1 thing to say, against Darren. Buy a real doll.
