this was a really funny post, made me laugh
commenters note:
football is correct because everyone else besides people living in the United States uses it
it's like the metric system
or how you aliens use a 12 hour clock (lmao)

I mean that airplanes were invented in the US, but it's acceptable for people to say aeroplane instead of airplane, and following the people in this forum's logic, they would only say airplane because in the US where it was invented, people say airplane.

Bro, if you really believe that, then don't tell that to the twenty people who disagreed with you.

OK, if you guys from the US want to call your game football when you are amongst yourselves even if the object the players are chasing only very loosely resembles a BALL and even if it consists more of smashing your heads together than actually kicking the egg-shaped object with the FOOT - fine, do so.
But don't tell the rest of the world they have to call the real football a name that - at least phonetically - is reserved for the 45th President of the United States.

I have no knowledge in the world of soccer/football, never once watched a game, so im kinda confused as to why lichess feels proud to have pulled 355 people away from watching the final...? if your gonna brag about doing something awful you gotta give more context. All i understood was Le won yet again and lichess is proud they stopped 355 people from watching an actual sport.But on the topic of Le, congrats! i dont know who you are and havent heard your name even once until today, but congats anyway! ... I guess?

Fun fact, American football was invented by the Native Americans and later developed into the sport it is today! Please stop running your mouth about our country, Im sick of you Europeans constantly badmouthing us regardless of how often our country helps, protects and supports you in any and every way we can! thank you.
