I think in Chinese it's足球 (Pinyin: zuqiu, pronounced zu tschiou). Then there are the tones but I am terrible with the tones and always guess and hope Chinese people understand me

Chose not to be lazy and look it up. Second tone for both characters zú qiú

Japs probably use the same Chinese characters, but with Japanese pronunciation. I don't care enough to look it up.

Just kidding I was curious since I play Rocket League and I think the Neo Tokyo is the most hilarious level. The Japanese call it sakkā (サッカー) AHAHAHA

Still don't know their rules for when they use Katakana and when they use Kanji.

Back to the Chinese, 球 is ball, 足 I'm pretty sure is foot. So football

God damn it. I hate this word.
No offense my man.

The problem is NFL football. No one would hold it against you or any other foreigner came to America and referred to "soccer" as "football". But if you are a native American and talked about football without context, you're either unnecessarily confusing people, or you're kind of a poser.

As I assume this is a Maltese English language forum about a German football club, I suppose football would be more easily understood term. Actually do the Maltese here use British English? Do you spell "harbor" or "harbour"?

British English in education.
Maltese English in practice, except those who make a conscious effort to sound British.

Why would anyone do that?

I wouldn't start Suele over Hummels. Much less after that display vs Leipzig yesterday.

I would, simply because of Hummels' pace deficit.

We tend to make fun of them too.

Who would you rather play instead, Rafinha (as RB with Kimmich in midfield), Sanches or the terribly slow Javi?
Goretzka is doing alright in my opinion, and he's got the pace.

Do you prefer Martinez? I think he could play center half possibly. But in midfield, he stifles the system too much.

That's the problem, there's no one. Like I said a few days ago it would have been ideal to have Vidal and/or Tolisso in this game.

Javi would be great if he actually played well but I've given up on him.

I stand to be corrected but if I am not mistaken the 21.00 fixtures won't continue at this stage.
