    Only really in the parts of the Anglosphere where they've developed their own... degenerate codes of football (USA, Australia etc.).

    It's still football in most of English-speaking Europe. Certainly in the UK, and I think in most cases in the Republic of Ireland as well (though IIRC they refer to gaelic football and even Rugby as 'football' too in some contexts).

    Can't see England going any further than the quarter finals myself; though I'm sure we can find out a way to cock-up and not progress past the group stage. I anticipate squeaky-bum time.

    Most people in Dublin would look at you like you had two heads if you said "Did you watch the football final?" in September (when G.A.A finals are held). Gaa is now used mostly to describe Gaelic football, it's like calling footbal fifa. kids nowadays....

    @NoRailGunner

    Not even us Irish are giving us much of a chance getting out of the group

    England invented the game, or the game as we know it now, apparently sailors often played it with natives in south america, thus taught them, and now they teach us Its called football, we gave it the name football. Its America that called the game soccer due to them already having a sport called football (when they use the feet to kick the ball about 1% of the time)

    European Mastership I haven't heard before, European Championship maybe or just Euro 2012

    I doubt germany will win. They always mess up against spain and this time they don't have an easy group...

    Yep, the whole global US speak "soccer" becuase USA has American 'football' so it wont get mixed up is all a bit wrong and switched around of late, even Fifa (the game) is Fifa Soccer.

    As Viper states correctly, it was, and always is football. IE: its not Handball is it?
