Nick I don't care if you pre-empted my argument. Not being popular enough doesn't change the fact they are wrong. They aren't calling it soccer as a nickname - they believe whole heartedly that the sport is called that. Perhaps believe isn't the right phrase, let me try again.

They refuse whole heartedly to admit that it is called football because they have some deep set mental problems that fear calling it football would invalidate their preferred code or shrink their penis or something.

Also does not an instant win make. The fact of the matter is, these people are wrong and they seem to get some sort of sick sexual satisfaction from it. Although my case study subject was already a bit smurfing weird to begin with, so it's probably not 100% accurate

In closing, football. Also smurf Man U. Good day sirs and ladies.
