Soccer

I know this won’t happen but I do wish the world would call it soccer. Back home in South Africa we call it soccer, not football. The USA does it, Australia do too and so does much of Ireland. In Ireland if you asked about the football you would be quickly regaled by a bunch of GAA (pronounced “Gaah!”, not “Gee Ay Ay”) fans. Gaelic football is very popular in Ireland. Ask for football in the States and you’ll get yardages. Down under football will get you Aussie “no” Rules which makes any other sport look tame.

By the way; Google has a handy feature where you can search for “football Argentina” and the first “result” is a summary of the games. Try any team.
