it`s officialy football.. i know then it confuses you with American Football.. but then change that name. European football has more rights to be called ..Football.. since it`s older and far more respected troughout the world

any comments?

I do not mean to sound flip, but this forum is about officiating the game of soccer or futbol if you prefer. The vast majority of us (soccer officials) are not concerned with the name of the game.
