FIFA awarded President Donald Trump its inaugural Peace Prize, and Trump suggested soccer should be called football and the NFL should be renamed during the World Cup.
The rest of the world couldn’t give a shit. Football always was football. No one gives a shit what you call your national sport that no other country in the world partakes in.
in Ireland it often will get called soccer a lot of the time because football means Gaelic Football (depending on some context), but then sometimes they definitely say football for english football and gaelic for gaelic

Seems like you have a pretty strong opinion for someone who doesn’t give a shit 😂
Well there’s rugby.
Maybe they should call it American rugby.
Too much body armour to be called rugby.
Also far too many clock stoppages.
Rugby: an 80-minute game that completes in around 100 minutes, inclusive of the 15 minute break between halves.
Gridiron: a 60-minute game that inexplicably takes 3.5 hours.
Very little fucking about in rugby, they just get on with it.
