Is it just me or are there a plethora of words used when speaking about football?
Is it time for new football terminology, or in an international game is there a need for a universal language?

Every time I watch a footabll match on TV, the commentators always seem to use the same words to describe plays and formations, etc. It can become very predictable.
But is there a need for this? If they start using new terminology, will people become confused?

What do you, the football community of fans, think of the terminolgy used to describe football?
Do we need a change, or is it good to use the same words repeatedly?
Have you had any experiences with new terminology?
Do your commentators use the same words all the time?

The language of football is similar codes worldwide. It is easy to see how despite the difference in idion, commentators, journalists and even players and fans, using similar terms. Football is a strange phenomenon that allows fans to have common identity beyond language differences. An example if you want child is the cry of Col to celebrate the achievement of a victory in the arch opposite. I do not think so, beyond one or another character that football is more or less boring, that the community identifies aficcionados not so common an act, indeed, play or event you live in football. A hug.
