The name "calcio" is ubiquitous in Italy, but the "Football" term is very common, where it is part of the official name of many clubs, e.g. Juventus Football Club.
And in many languages a word directly derived from "Football" is common to refer to the game.
- hdesh 4y agoForza Juve!
- yeeeeeehhhaw 4y agoAnd in my town and many in the US. The clubs are named "Football Club" while the majority of society calls it soccer. There's simply no other way to distinguish between the sports other than using the term soccer. I'm open for any suggestions that don't also involve changing the name of the most popular sport here.
- gpderetta 4y agoI'm certainly not suggesting that Americans should change the name of their sport. It is just good natured ribbing :).
