the improbable happened. the focus was going to the creation of our solar system with our planet is a bit like winning the lottery as a. one 1st for unique starts february 11th on t.w. . it ends in a toxic i am going to talk we did a soccer sometimes the way we get sides is football oh excuse me ok you're insulting our company. but listen 1st of all go after football we call it the we call it soccer get used to it. so we call it a good book. we are
2:17 am
a football channel or a soccer channel well we are quite an international bunch more english than tom calls it the court date from the us sets soccer scottish colleague mark calls it. and damien tells us what it's called at her home and canada. but a lot of our viewers tell us we shouldn't be so camus with our choice of what is 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 lots of fans of 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 football after. using the word soccer we did that in soccer sometimes it's
2:18 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 regulate when i was growing up in england period but then since the 1980s 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 america word it's not soccer and if you go on to the web and type it's what will not talk or you'll see this. outpouring of anger from
2:19 am
mostly from britain not just from great you see you see french or german or you know south africa people also saying during the riots and for fuck's sake stop saying soccer stefan szymanski in silicon valley are beinecke have written a book about it it's also as a linguistic phenomenon this is going to leave 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 is never been a case of a word which has been used for a long time and then dropped because somebody else uses it. 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
2:20 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 and for ever. i have cousins from florida talk about soccer and i just i just remember thinking like oh you can be related to me this is horrible they don't think. i used to hate it when i was growing up. in the anger years among most explicitly addressed at americans listen to english comedian john cleese. why do the americans insist on calling it's soccer why do they have such a problem calling it. the messages. clearly the most popular game on earth is called football soccer which is wrong. the correct terms are football and. it's a bit like ultimate 2 words that describe the same thing so why all this anger and
2:21 am
frustration caused by these harless words. it's like. a jumper in sweat well the city. is full of. rights they're in jail but there are many versions of football rugby a lake australian rules football and football also known to the rest of the world as. what. american football so the u.s. and others like canada island south africa japan and all these other parts of the global markets 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 in maryland and irish person is talking to me and he said probably. if you read soccer or you like it on the
2:22 am
context i mean i would if i was just talking about generally. i mean i would. talk about sport and differentiate and then i would use the word soccer and i would want to punch myself in the face which i used to. what's even funnier see the flag let's change it into the nation's flag. as best we know it was. university british school boys love that game but their competitive desires required regulations $863.00 routes were defined and the football association was formed but there was still other. versions of the game that's why our new rule book was written one that allowed plants it's known as rugby football this distinction between a rock b. football and association football marks the origin off soccer like rocco is
2:23 am
a shorter version of rock be football soccer became a snappy a version of association football this can be a rat in a tiny letter from 1005 published in the new york times as a matter of fact it was a fact at oxford and cambridge to use are at the end of many words and as association did not take an art easily it was and is 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. like the state 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
2:24 am
england to everywhere. everywhere except. the united states here the other sports the one with the hands rocking exploded everyone left that's game that developed into the most popular sport in the u.s. and something very british. america to be sure is deliberately kept short so that the sponsors. get as many commercials as possible thank you the world couldn't accept that the world's great super nation didn't love the world's game and on top of that changed its name. the past time for people to point out how wrong americans are the aim of these
2:25 am
graphics is to convince americans if you don't like our spot at least 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 big 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 we're americans it's a shrug of the shoulder they don't care 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
2:26 am
it's our sport you can't call it you want to come in and you want to call it soccer and you want to be good at it too we were at that good our football for a long time and now it's time to change his lot of americans in the board as 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 word i suppose but with definitely i think. we have a chip on our shoulders of. cultural imperialism. coming from the states which is ironic because we consume so much culture think specifically or think this idea that they're not quite good and that these people are quite good. for 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 a form. of cultural jealousy and anti americanism to say you
2:27 am
you know i'm not allowed to use this word you must use the word that everybody almost everybody else uses and of course what's strange is that because this is the one i suspect of global culture which the americans have not dominated if you think about music. all my most forms of culture have been globalization been dominated by americans and american businesses and soccer football is really the. global activity which is not predominantly american. so what's the solution well this and. there are maybe put out widespread information that the word is english. the word came from england what does the economic think this we need by the solution we just need to learn to a lot of there that we can put the spotlight on another question why do americans
