Why do Europeans call that sport "football"?

[repaeR]

It's called soccer. Not football. Europeans are so weird.

Alternatively Fußball is just how Germans say Football.

Absolutely, but still not foosball, is it?

Ich spreche deutsche, aber nur ein bisschen (hence the lack of germanic characters and no umlaut).

Idk Foosball just sounds like Fußball to me and the mechanical table football thing's name i know for it is Babyfoot.

Yeah, you'd have to use the Alt codes for those characters.

I can't even remembered the ones for commonly used ones like the Trademark or Copyright symbols or Acute "e".
I pretty much just have to have a list open to use them.
(Or sometimes just experiment, such as taking a few tries to find that ä is hold Alt + type 132)

And yeah, as he said, outside of Germany, that's how they differentiate Football (aka soccer) from the mechanical game table (Foosball).

So, I guess it's a case of "They're miners, not minors." for Germans?
(i.e. both pronounced exactly the same)

Lol, yeah, I also speak a weebit of French too, and whenever I type it's either a case of bash all the variances of the control and Alt keys or just forget about it.

Usually, as I'm lazy, the latter is the choice :)

Frankly I think that should be a thing. I think when they come out of the youth squad, they should be dunked in a large bowl of concrete by their feet. On match day they get to be flicked around by a manager controlled giant fecking hand.

And the ball has to be massive like Sam Allardyce's heed.

I believe it's their way of "taking the piss" as they say.

While we do take the piss fondly, calling it footabll is the majority of the world whereas America are along with a couple of others countries, the odd man out.
