Apart from “succour ” you then have the common English terminology for describing the game that’s massacred, so for example :
1-0, one nil, becomes one to nothing.
2-2, two all, becomes two goals each.
3-3, that’s a draw, becomes that’s a tie.
Dressing room - locker room
And finally, the fans FFS! Love ‘em really, but they just don’t get it.
I’m sure there’s a load more but you get my drift.
So you have polled a diverse group of people regarding the behaviour of people in this country, and almost to a person they have told you the story is eminently believable, still, you are dismissing everything that has been said based solely upon your preconceived ideas?

They are going to assess him after training today, but Brian Owen didn't think they sounded optimistic about him playing against Wolves.

Xenophobia. As we all know, in the states "football" means that game where they rarely kick the ball and if they want to talk about our game they call it "soccer". Of course this is harmless enough, however the whole world is saturated in American culture so this new usage started to feel like an assault on our language and culture. How dare they try to steal "football" and force us to only use the soppy "soccer" label? Soccer in the USA seems to be viewed as a childs game, less manly than "football" and is used in derogatory terms such as "soccer mums".
