Soccer is a British shortening of 'association football.' Aka association rules football.
In the 1860-90s, one of several competing games / variants of the same gsme all called football including rugby, then called rugby football (rugby being the name of the town/ school that game was popularized in)
American and canadian football are variants off of this version of 'rugby football,' Eventually dropping the name rugby (as they no longer had much association to that locale) british rugby, and its other variants, eventually dropped the football from their name.
Technically though, for the game we generally think of as football, association rules football, (which again, soccer is just a shortening of) is the proper name. For instance, If you look up fifa, their name is
Fédération Internationale de Football Association literally the international association football federation.
And there are still other similar games that use football in the term, including american/ gridiron, Australian rules/ footy, and Gaelic football
Just calling it football is technically using a term for all of those sports. Association football, or 'soccer' is the actual sport and rules we all mean.
The US education system has been hollowed out for decades now with the single goal of being able to put fascists into power. Only with a dumb population can you pull off such horrendous shit and still get away with a dumb excuse
The good thing about this is that there is so much incompetence going around that these fuckers will eventually break their new system by themselves.
To make a trump like expression that is actually true; The US economy is already a bubble the size like nobody has seen before. I for one can't wait for that economy to pop, maybe then Americans can be bothered to do something about trump
As a Latin American I find this deeply offensive and would like to clarify to people that when you talk like that... you make a woman go mad... So be wise (Sí!) and keep on (Sí!) Reading the signs of my body.
for anyone wondering if this actually happened, it did. (in 2019)
I was just thinking posters should include the dates for the Trump posts.
And given the age of absurdity and stupidity we live in, they should also include a "certified not fake and not satire".
It really is frustrating how hard it can be sometimes to tell the difference. Nothing sounds too ridiculous anymore.
Back when Drinky Pete was just an alcoholic fascist stooge and not Secretary of 🙄 “War” . . and also an alcoholic fascist stooge.
“Archipelago” is kind of a big word for their typical viewer, huh?
Arch-i-pelago.
Isn’t that the doorway into Mar-a-lago?
Yes, the area you get pegged by an Archie lookalike.
Literally where can I sign up
Get them to pronounce it.
I know Arch-ipelago, BTW.
This is still far too generous - it assumes that they:
Malvinas son de Argentina!
Just because Argentina landed there 500 years ago doesn't mean it's theirs
Lol. Exactly.
The best part of this was how none of the "three Mexican countries" were Mexico.
Sad Agustín de Iturbide noises
Soccer Mexico's endless meat buffets would also like a word
Last time I checked Argentina was wold cup champion and Brazil got humiliated by Germany 7:1. So it's Soccer Mexico and Samba Mexico.
Oh come on, give them a break. Brazil still has the most world cup wins under their belt, Argentina doesn't even make the top 3
Germany didn't give them a break at 6:0 and neither will I.
Germany definetly slowed down after the 5:0, the rest was training
Poor brazil. They have gone up against germany since then, and definitely cleared away the poor results from that one match.
Don't these scores just mean that one country had better luck in the international player trafficking market that year?
I laughed when I saw "Soccer Mexico".
It's called football. Let's do the math.
Foot + ball = football
Rugby + kicking = footrugby.
Don't @ me.
Rugby + kicking = Australian rules football

...hermano, who listens to the British? FUTOBOOOOOOOOOOL!!! ⚽🥇🎉
Every 👏 damn 👏 language 👏 in 👏 the 👏 world 👏 calls 👏 it 👏 football 👏
Get your yankie "call to authority" britishisms tf outta here. We ain't colonies no more. Smh.
It's like those people who call all sodas "Coke."
I LOLed at "Soccer Mexico"
It's funny how Brazil is just ingrained in my subconsciousness as "The Soccer Country" along with like Spain I think

It's hard for racists to differentiate people with brown skin. They just all come from Brownskinistan.
I’d go with Tex-Mexico myself
Can anyone pick out what Ecuador is in this map? The compression is keeping me from deciphering it. The rest are pretty funny.
I think it's MS13...
In this slightly higher-res copy, it does appear to be "MS13". (Which makes about as much sense as labeling Uruguay "west"...)
Looks like "72$83 Mexico"
I would go with “Turtle Mexico” cause of the Galapagos. I know they’re not turtles, but I think that adds to the effect.
Referring to the Mexican states?
My head was having trouble not correcting it to 'mexican counties'
Somewhere in "poor mexico" there is a bit of european rocket mexico 🚀
Is that battle plan leaking secretary of WAR Peter Hegsheeth? Hoo rah?
Wait until they hear about the mexistans.
Wait... Are we going back to call it the Gulf of Mexico?
..is Uruguay marked "worst Mexico" or "West Mexico"?
I kinda doubt that EITHER is true, given that it's located to the East of Argentina and probably is MUCH better than those Paraguayan bastards!
Maybe they are the worst at being Mexico
Could be!
West Mexico which is funny because it's like the second most eastern Mexico here
I found a slightly higher res version; it's west 🙄
Canada: Ice Mexico
USA: ICE Mexico.
¡Viva México!
¡Cabrones!

Goddamnit we're so fucking stupid.
Whoever made this picture doesn't know about Fishing Mexico, and I'm disappointed by that.
There's a New one
It's so small and lacks many features of the original, it's like the Wish version of Mexico.
Taco Bell Mexico is the US, me thinks, but otherwise WHAT
