tempted in the u.k. last month maybe d'andrea as well as more from this transmissible plot he insists officials are confident about sex scenes being used in the u.k. are effective against it. and that's it for me i'm a news james thanks you now to sports life coming up after a short rank you can always apply more now inside that state of the dot com i'm rebecca ridges using. the new year no no no yes we're going to do you and i'll stay as german chancellor i want to bring you i'm going to mount a call and you've never thought of how surprised to so up with what is possible who is magical really what moves. all some people along the way maurice and critics want to join us from apple's last august. letter we were.
10:16 am
when we were. in the percent of americans at some point in our lives will experience hardship listen. it is in the toxic ends in the top of soccer sometimes the only way to ties is football. scuse me ok and salt in our company. listen 1st of all joke or football we call it the you call it soccer get used to it i still recall its old bookie. we are
10:17 am
a football channel partners soccer channel well we are quite an international bunch more english than tom calls it a day from the us sets soccer scottish colleague mark calls it. and daniel tells us what it's called at her home and canada. but a lot of our viewers tell us we shouldn't be so callous with our choice of what most comments on our channel suggest we should call it football and nothing else the term soccer makes them flinch and that's one of the less offensive comments others say soccer is totally acceptable there is a war of words going on in our comments. and not only. what you see here as manchester city striker sergio agüero reaction to former footballer act about. using the word soccer. in soccer sometimes i don't think it's
10:18 am
useful but. people hate the word soccer type the phrase it's football not soccer into google search and you can't deny it these 2 words cost battles. and they are the most controversial words on social media. and i remember it being used as a word regularly when i was growing up in england period but then since the 1980 s. really it's become a word that in england if you describe the game of football and call it soccer. people who get very angry at you and not just a little bit angry very very angry they will shout at you and they will scream and they will say don't use that american word it's well that ball not soccer and if you go onto the web and type it's football not soccer you'll see this. outpouring
10:19 am
of anger from mostly from britain not just from great you'll see you'll see french or german or you know south african people also saying during the riots and for fuck's sake stop saying soccer stefan szymanski beinecke have written a book about it but it's also as a linguistic phenomenon this is believe unique there is never been a word that we can find that has been exiled from the language there are words that go out of use that it's never been a case of a word which has been used for a long time and then dropped because somebody else uses it. the war on the words can be found on merchandise products fashion items and even in our office is the disrespect that you receive as soon as you say the word soccer you instantly don't know anything about it you shouldn't be speaking about it you are crazy you
10:20 am
have no idea what's going on what you see even though you've played select such a long time yet. think of like any example where it got me into trouble or in flavor. i have cousins from florida talk about soccer and i just i just remember thinking like oh you can be related to me so horrible they did think. i used to hate it when i was growing up. the anger here is among most explicitly addressed at americans listen to english comedian john cleese. why do you merican insist on calling it's soccer why do they have such a problem calling it. the messages. the most popular game on earth is called football soccer which is wrong. the correct term football and. it's a bit like also many 2 words that describe the same thing so why all this anger and
10:21 am
frustration caused by these horrible is more. like. a jumper is whether the city. is football. rights or jail but there are many versions of football rugby gay lake australian rules football and football also known to the rest of the world as. what. are you talking about american football so the us and others like canada ireland south africa japan and all these other parts of the global markets are green on this map stuck to the term soccer so even for those who hate to say soccer all football there are good reasons to use both terms firstly to let someone know what you're talking about like a maryland and irish person is talking to me and he said they would probably ask
10:22 am
soccer or. on the context i mean i would if i was just talking about general. i mean i would but if i was talking about sport and differentiate and then i would use the word soccer i would want to punch myself in the face which i used to. what's even funnier see the flag change it into the nation's flag. as best we know it was. good university british school boys love that game but their competitive desires required regulations 863 routes were defined and the football association was formed but there was still up. versions of the game that's why our new rule book was written one that allows the hands it's known as rugby football this distinction between a rock b. football and association football marks the origin of soccer like rocco is a shorter version of rock the football soccer became a snappy a version of
10:23 am
a saucy asian football this can be a rat in a tiny letter from 1000 or 5 published in the new york times. as a matter of fact it was a fact that arcs float in cambridge to use are at the end of many words and as association did not take an art easily it was and it's sometimes spoken off as sokka. another surprising fact can be found by reading papers from the states. so as best we know the words that was at oxford university in the 18th ninety's and we know. american and australian newspaper sources people in australia earlier and the states will say don't call it soccer that's an oxford word the proper name is. get me a map. it was the soccer version the one played with the feet that soon spread from
10:24 am
england to everywhere. everywhere except. the united states here the other sports the one with the hands rocket exploded everyone laughs that's game that developed into the most popular sport in the us and something very british. record be sure is deliberately kept short so that the sponsors. getting as many commercials as possible thank the world to put in except that the world's great super nation didn't love the world's game and on top of that changed it's made. the past time for people to point out how wrong americans are the aim of these
10:25 am
graphics is to convince americans if you don't like our spot name it right as if they care it. so it's completely absurd to tell americans not to use a word that you yourself have used in the past and which you would be anyway so that's absurd as well but also it's. the asymmetry in this in the intensity of this debate because we're british people and europeans this could be the source of a tense anger and antagonism where america is a shrug of the shoulder they don't know it's even worse now that the usa has become a global force in football the fan community is growing the man take part in what cops and the women even when they're. the fact that north americans are like encroaching on territory that is considered european and that's kind of like but
10:26 am
it's our sport you can call it you want to come in if you want to call it soccer and you want to be good at it too we weren't that good our football for a long time and now it's time to change his lot of americans and the point is they get it's kind of like what happens if we lose against them. like yeah i think you think it's not just the words but with definitely i think we have a chip on our shoulders a bit in europe cultural imperialism. a problem coming from the states which is ironic because we consume so much culture think specifically i think this idea that they're not quite good and that these people are quick. to though they thought we were here is the right word you're you. so today the american way of life has become so dominant that for some europeans the argument about football or soccer is now the last remaining battlefields to defend their culture. this is it for all of cultural jealousy and
10:27 am
anti americanism to say you you know i'm not allowed to use this word you must use the word that everybody that almost everybody else uses a word strange because this is the one i suspect of global culture which the americans have not dominated if you think about music movies. all my most forms of culture have been globalization being dominated by americans and american businesses and soccer football is really. global activity which is not predominantly american. so what's the solution. ever and ever so virginia on may we put out widespread information that the word of english. the word came from england what does the economic think they say you need by the solution we just need to learn to a lot of them then we can put the spotlight on another question why do americans
