I will using the word Football but of course in the US we need to use the word soccer. But, when I am talking to some one from Europe and I say Soccer I feel like very stupid person So I know that I need to use the correct work. Football and in Spanish Futbol. =8) What about you guys?
I call it football so that my secretary understands the code when I say I'm going to a "foot doctor's appointment" - she then knows I'm going out for a LONG lunch to watch a match at the local pub.
But do you say it like an Englishman? "Foot-bowl?" Or like a Latino? "Fut-boall?" Or like an Anglo? "Football?"
Futbol if I am talking in Spanish and Football if I am speaking in English and if they don't get it then I say Soccer with a smile
