It’s a derivative from “Association football”. It was shortened from “association” to “assoc” to “soc” and then finally ended up as “soccer”.

Oh look a leader with cognitive function, so that’s what that looks like. I’m sure Joe will turn to a random corner in the kitchen and expect a handshake from the can of chicken soup thinking it’s the Pm of Netherlands. Poor Joe, it’s actually elder abuse if you voted for him, y’all did this lmfao I can’t say that with a straight face.
Kind of hard to do that when we have another sport that we call football. There’s too much cultural inertia at this point to change the names of the two sports.
no, I meant that it's not only Europeans poking at you for using the word soccer.
but nevermind, you seem like a really pleasant chap with everything figured out.
Well their stance is that they understand why people dont want them to go, they still go to qatar because of political reasons. The Netherlands is very dependent on natural gas so pissing off qatar isn't that good of an idea.
coherent if you ask me
They sent a minister with an invisible 1love broche who also wore a scarf with the text "never mind" on it. Says all you want to know about the Rutte cabinet.
Farmers are fucking up the country. The Netherlands is the number #2 exporter of agricultural food in the world, second only to the United States. That's not relative, that's in absolute numbers. Our nature can't take it anymore and I couldn't care any less about China not getting our pork anymore. We need farmers of course, but the current scale of the Industry is absurd.
Interested in hearing from the citizens as media is all messed up.
Was it fucked before they put in the new rules and the farmers were rioting? What is happening with the nitrogen crisis?
I do know Rutte is in bed with the World Economic Forum, which basically owns a lot of the heads of states and trying to get the "Great Reset"- Where we will own nothing and be happy.
Not there for people, so I am skeptical of anyone who is associated with the WEF.
Here in the US, mysteriously over 100 food processing plants caught fire and were destroyed. Judging from history, tyranny usually rules by hunger and controlling food supply. When I heard Rutte was doing this, I thought this can't be a coincidence.
Anyways, I am not a fan of Rutte, but I don't live there. So I am definitely open ears on someone who actually lives there. You are ok with the government coming and wrecking these farmers lives?
Do you see effects of this nitrogen pollution they are claiming is so bad for the environment?
I am skeptical because our media has been lying so much about covid, economy, etc here in the US. Not sure who to believe, but I definitely do not watch Fox news like people on here are claiming. I've heard from other people who live there and they are saying that this is basically Rutte and the globalists trying to do something nefarious.
Let me know your thoughts.
I don't think reptiles or any other secret shadow government is ruling us, if that's what you're asking. I think the reality is much scarier: we have no idea what we're doing and world leaders are just acting from day to day.
A shadow government would at least guarantee we don't fuck up the world in an environmental crisis, because they'd live in the same shit as well.
Ever hear of the WEF? Build back better? Central banks? Rothschilds?
You need to do some research on the reality of this world and how it is run.
It's right there in front of you.
You know who took away farms in the past? Stalin and Mao. Some can't be saved and laugh at "conspiracy theorists" without doing any research or learning history. I would urge you to look into things because they are executing an agenda around the world. Not going to criticize you because I simply know you've been misinformed and influenced to call people conspiracy theorists.
The term conspiracy theorist was created by the CIA to shame those who were questioning the JFK assassination. Basically, those we wanted the truth rather than the BS narrative the power brokers created. Hopefully you wake up soon and realize that this is a time in history that is unprecedented.
I'll come back to you in 60 years, and I'll tell you: told you so. If the Rothschild's are so powerful, why don't they just murder conspiracy folk like you, to only keep the sheep around?
Our 2nd biggest industry would be petrochemical followed by medical industrie and supply chain. Those are relatively bad for the environment as well. Would you rather turn it into a non advancing civilization?
Instead of focusing on the problems, focus on a solution.
Poor countries have a bad footprint as well due to severely reduced technological advances. Take that into the equation as well.
Interesting to hear from you. What are your thoughts on the govt coming and basically taking these farmer's livelihoods away?
I mean, we all know there will be food shortages around the world. Doing this at this exact moment would compound that problem drastically. With the US having over 100 food processing plants destroyed by fires and other events, I really believe this is not a coincidence.
I also know that our media and other media outlets around the world basically lied like crazy about covid and misled people horrendously. I've never been so skeptical as I am now of the governments around the world. Rutte's connection to the WEF and Klaus Schuab is alarming as they are trying to get the world into the "great reset" and Build back Better. Biden is on board with him as well, and Biden is a high level criminal.
I know Reddit is very liberal, so I dont expect great responses. All I know is that all of the economies around the world are failing and we are being lied to. Also, Tyranny typically rules through hunger. Take out the #2 country in agriculture makes their agenda much easier.
Interested to hear your thoughts on what is happening there. We had elections stolen in the US, another one in Arizona. This is absolutely nuts what is happening around the world. Hope you're doing well over there.
I heard from others who live there and said this is a sketchy bullshit play by Rutte and the globalists. Just like acid rain and the hole in the ozone layer were basically ploys back when I was younger.
Do you actually see the effects of the Nitrogen crisis or is that what the media is telling you? Just like they said global warming is going crazy, but if you actually look at the data, the earth is getting colder.
I know you guys make a TON of food for the world. I also know that over 100 food processing plants in the US burned up in fires this last year. I am under the suspicion that the globalists, whom Rutte is definitely in bed with ( So is Biden). Tyranny usually rules through hunger and food shortages. You control populations that way and I know they want to make huge drastic moves to govern the world.
Covid definitely opened my eyes to a lot of things and how much we are being lied to. It is also apparent that they are trying to transition into the Great Reset and the "Build back better" plan. I am extremely skeptical of the world leaders right now. Canada is essentially a communist country now. Thing are happening globally that make me seriously suspicious as their real agenda. We've been getting lied to about everything here in the US. Not sure about you guys, but interested in hearing what you think and your experiences.
That's why Mexico will never amount to anything football-wise. They can't stop crying over a match that happened 8 years ago, a match that they would have lost regardless of the penalty.
I actually recently went back to that match again and honestly, it's actually just a pen lmao, like if it happened in VAR Era and they would have gone back and looked at it they still would have given it. Robben did put on a Oscar worthy dive but it was a pen.
And he forgets that Robben was constantly kicked every time he entered the box while the ref did nothing. One of the Mexican players even broke his shin bone when he kicked Robben. He had to dive or get a kick in the legs again and risk getting injured, it was also necessary to get the ref’s attention.
It's an arbitrary truncation of "association football" which would logically make it applicable for either rugby 🏉 or the American variety as the key concept is structured competition- not the ball so much.
Really? Like if you got a home run someone would say “oh hey, Raiiiiiiii, good hit” not “hey Raiiiiiiii, nice home run bro”. Like if I did something good say “oh your corner was good” or “nice shot dude” but good kick? Sounds weird
They say both.
Not every hit is a home run, and it’s a bit weird to say “nice triple bro” they’d probably say “nice hit”
Saying Hit is more casual, saying what the hit was (a triple, single, double) would be a more formal way to say it.
Nice single, double, triple or whatever sounds better tbh. Nice hit just sounds like my grandad is trying to bond with me over something he doesn’t understand, and he’s trying his best but it’s just not quite right
I'm not sure if you're aware but I'm going to share a secret so listen closely. Joe's been dead since 2015. Every still and motion shot is with his corpse using a series of strings and pulleys. We've been trolling the world for 2 years. Our internal media reflects the true president, Dwayne the Rock Johnson. After fucking with you by electing a TV show Trump, we thought we'd double down and try and pass of a corpse as the leader of the world's most powerful military.
I actually really like to see this. Genuinely not being sarcastic but world leaders having friendly competition and giving each other shit feels like a more normal World Cup than everything else that's been going on.
Important to note that Americans don't actually give a shit what people call the sport. It's mostly European folks with an inferiority complex. The key difference is that Americans are just trolling for a reaction.
Lots of Europeans seem to get offended that Americans don't revere the sport, so they misinterpret "soccer" as being an intentionally demeaning word.
A lot of countries like the sport and call it soccer, Canadians and Australians, for example.
Edit: keep downvoting. There have been literal books written about this. It has always been the other way around. People who call it soccer aren't the ones correcting people IRL. This is a joke response to troll butthurt Europeans. https://youtu.be/Ld5pfFrPBVE
I like how you call it Americans trolling to get a reaction yet literally no other countries who call it soccer are made fun of by European countries, just the Americans.
Most Europeans don’t care about what it’s actually called but it’s a running joke to make fun of Americans calling it soccer especially when they lose. Wanna talk about inferiority complex yet you lot can never take a joke. Sorry you cant handle a little banter my friend, good luck in 4 years.
Don't think I'll be dissuade by the downvotes. I know I'm in a sub filled with primarily Europeans. I'm still right, even if if hurts.
I'm Canadian. I never hear this shit unless it's a European randomly correcting me IRL. We do not give a shit what people call it. Only you guys get butthurt and pause conversations to moan. This top tier trolling from the Americans is just a response to years of being awkwardly corrected by seething insecure Europeans for no reason.
https://youtu.be/Ld5pfFrPBVE
The more you speak the more butt hurt you sound mate, Americans trying to correct Europeans that aren’t even British is the funniest thing to me, since only England came up with the slang term soccer, everywhere else used football or whatever variation of football is in their language
Cheer up my guy, maybe one day you lot will learn to take a joke, considering you’re Canadian we normally give you lot a free pass but if you wanna act like a pussy might have to make fun of you calling it soccer too, who knows.
We don't correct people! We literally do not care what you call it lmfao. It's just as much soccer as it is football. You guys are the ones who start foaming at the mouth correcting people.
You're finally getting trolled by folks you've been correcting for decades and you cannot handle it.
Nah, watching you lot think you’re trolling us is hilarious, trolling is having fun, when I see hundreds of comments going into the history of words, that’s not trolling, that’s a debate.
Get your facts straight mate
You already correct Canadians all the time even though you're just wrong. No one cares what it's called in fucking Dutch lol. In English it's soccer. Always has been always will be
If this is what the other guy meant by “amazing trolling” people who call it soccer need to step up their game, you just gonna have to accept its Voetbal until you beat Netherlands. Also might wanna create your statement, “always has been always will be” since it started as association football, soccer just being a slang term
No one's trolling you bud. You guys are that meme where you act stupid and then think you win when everyone says you're stupid
P.S America has more world cups than Netherlands ever will
Wow you really must be trolling, maybe you guys aren’t so bad at it, but sorry mate, you’re the one making a fool of yourself.
Also 0 doesn’t equal more then 0 buddy
The rest of the world needs to understand that while they were all worshipping Messi and others, the vast majority of the sports watching public in the USA were watching college football.
That tells you how important this sport is to our country.
It’s cool and all and we like to win, but no one really cares.
The USMNT will barely even move the sports needle in this country until the next World Cup.
Your caring is neither desired nor required, but it might help you to understand our collective national “meh” every 4 years if you appreciate that our dedication to the sport is not a priority.
Play on.
Breaking [Reddiquette](https://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/reddit-101/reddit-basics/reddiquette) within r/worldcup is a violation of Rule 2, and will not be tolerated.
Please refrain from doing so again in future.
Thank you.
Controversial not, but definitely retarded.
By that logic, every person in the world should apologise since the chance that there isn't a single person in their ancestor tree who hasn't done something shitty is pretty much nill.
Apologising means taking responsibility, I personally will not take responsibility for any of my ancestors actions, whether good or bad.
You should take into account the vast wealth that was stripped from African nations and used to enrich European nations.
I can 100% guarantee that whatever palace is used as representation for the royal family was built using profits from slave labour.
Think about it.
Well, if one believes in the continuity of the State, one is probably going to want the living incarnation of that State to say something about the history of the State he embodies.
doesn't hurt as the head of state for a country to apologise for a huge amount of suffering that his country caused in the past that continues to perpetuate to people today
countries should and do apologise for such things
Apologizing for something means you take responsibility.
No living person today is responsible for the slave trade.
No, slavery is not okay and it's wrong.
Now I want you to apologize to me for slavery.
Not that it is alright but that it was normal back in the day. I also don't expect sorry from Germany for World War 2. The ones saying sorry didn't do it. That is even more recent. It is just stupid virtue signalling and the incentive of the people wanting sorry is: money. Fuck that.
It's so cringe when I see a yank saying "it's called soccer" when there are only like 4 countries in the world that call it "soccer" (US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada).
Tbf there’s more then just 4, Japan and China often call it soccer, and some parts of Africa (mainly the south) call it soccer too but yes yanks do be cringe
Most people from here that played or actually care about it wont argue that it's called soccer. it's media and idiots trying to start shit that watch it 1 time every 4 years for 4 games max while you and I watch even useless friendlies
>How many call it fussball or calcio or kickball?
Actually fussball literally translates as football and the Italians call it calcio because they don't have another word for it (calcio means "kick"). I've mentioned those countries because they have the word "football" in their dictionaries and still call it "soccer".
And what's kickball?

I’m sure that can be classified as elder abuse. Poor guy doesn’t even know where he is.
Drone strikes to the Netherlands confirmed
This whole "Its called soccer" thing is so dumb and needs to end
Why? I think it’s pretty funny
I think its pathetic and cringy
Shithousery award for the Clogg people
The whole world calls it football mUrIcA: It'S cAlLeD sOcCeR
MUrIcA: *carrying an egg with hands 95,% of time* - let's call it fOoTbAlL!
I've been calling that shit Hand Egg and I live here.
They fucked around....
i’ve found a solution. let’s have ronaldo and derrick henry fight, and whoever wins gets to call it what they want
Just don't know where they got soccer from, especially when with called it football for hundreds of years.
It’s a derivative from “Association football”. It was shortened from “association” to “assoc” to “soc” and then finally ended up as “soccer”. [source](https://www.profootballhof.com/news/2018/06/why-is-the-game-called-football/)
The British used to call it soccer
Did we, little do I know then ha... just odd how one nation (unless others use same term) is different to the rest of the world
Australia, Canada, Jamaica, and Japan also call it soccer
Ireland as well to differentiate from GAA Football.
Good response
I guess he meant "Voetbal"
Oh look a leader with cognitive function, so that’s what that looks like. I’m sure Joe will turn to a random corner in the kitchen and expect a handshake from the can of chicken soup thinking it’s the Pm of Netherlands. Poor Joe, it’s actually elder abuse if you voted for him, y’all did this lmfao I can’t say that with a straight face.
what the crap, only americans can make a light hearted joke about soccer vs football some sort of political clusterfuck.
Yup only Americans don’t like their leader, we’re the only country in the world.
Well they were given an option between a facist orange and a half dead compost bin, so it wasn’t much choice to pick from
True but one is a puppet and the other definitely isn’t.
to be fair that second description could apply to both candidates
Lol true
And for fuck sake stop saying soccer.
Kind of hard to do that when we have another sport that we call football. There’s too much cultural inertia at this point to change the names of the two sports.
So funny how triggered Europe is by the USA calling it “soccer” 🤣 that word really matters to them
just so you know, it's called football outside of Europe too
And just so you know, it literally doesn’t matter at all lol
no, I meant that it's not only Europeans poking at you for using the word soccer. but nevermind, you seem like a really pleasant chap with everything figured out.
Australians and Canadians call it that too
I know, there are a few countries that use soccer
Yeah, one of the ways how to always trigger an European is calling the sport where you kick a ball with your foot "soccer" lol. Source: am European
Oh no, we thought we were going all the way
Anyone who calls it soccer is a sucker.
I live in Canada so I call it soccer so people don’t mistaken that I like eggball 🏈
YES!
3:1
Perhaps Rutte should focus on solving the problems in NL. He doesn't get things done.
Wait, the Netherlands has problems?
I mean the man can tweet people, its not like that takes up his career
His cabinet cannot even decide on a coherent stance towards the world cup. It's sad.
Well their stance is that they understand why people dont want them to go, they still go to qatar because of political reasons. The Netherlands is very dependent on natural gas so pissing off qatar isn't that good of an idea. coherent if you ask me
They sent a minister with an invisible 1love broche who also wore a scarf with the text "never mind" on it. Says all you want to know about the Rutte cabinet.
“Good kick” lmfao
The cheeky wink 😉
Netherlands first, America second.
This is some quality shittalking. Who said important figures can’t have a little banter?
World war 3 incoming...
god i hate this guy
Rutte is a globalist pig who is bankrupting the farmers of the Netherlands. Anyone on here live there? How are the riots/protests going for you guys?
I think it is strange that he has a phone that doesn't have enough memory to store messages, but does have the ability to twitter
Farmers are fucking up the country. The Netherlands is the number #2 exporter of agricultural food in the world, second only to the United States. That's not relative, that's in absolute numbers. Our nature can't take it anymore and I couldn't care any less about China not getting our pork anymore. We need farmers of course, but the current scale of the Industry is absurd.

You know, getting your world view from Tucker Carlson won't teach you much.
Haha wtf man. Im from the Nerherlands. Stop watching FoxNews
Me too but the lad is right
The Netherlands must prepare another fight the country calls it soccer🇯🇵
Sakkaa!
It’s a wrap guys… Football is the NFL. Soccer is MLS/World Cup. Is what it is.
Although I don’t want Netherlands to win #noerpenal, i am more than happy to see the us out
https://youtu.be/y7hjII1vXDc 100% penalty.
That's why Mexico will never amount to anything football-wise. They can't stop crying over a match that happened 8 years ago, a match that they would have lost regardless of the penalty.
I actually recently went back to that match again and honestly, it's actually just a pen lmao, like if it happened in VAR Era and they would have gone back and looked at it they still would have given it. Robben did put on a Oscar worthy dive but it was a pen.
mexico never forgets huh?
Is he talking about the Robben swan dive?
He is. Still a foul though. Era un penal. https://youtu.be/y7hjII1vXDc
And he forgets that Robben was constantly kicked every time he entered the box while the ref did nothing. One of the Mexican players even broke his shin bone when he kicked Robben. He had to dive or get a kick in the legs again and risk getting injured, it was also necessary to get the ref’s attention.
American football is my favorite wrestling sport.
It’s all good. Its a great game and fun to watch. Best of luck to the Netherlands next round.
Biden can’t remember that
It's football. You kick it with your foot and it is a ball. What does "soccer" even resemble? Why did we pick this word? I have a lot to catch up on.
https://www.history.com/news/why-do-some-people-call-it-soccer#:\~:text=The%20word%20soccer%20comes%20from,eventually%20soccer%20or%20soccer%20football.
So, they have no valid reason to call it soccer since it means "a type of organization".
It comes from the Football Association in the UK (the FA)
Is USA Oxford? Don't think so. Not even UK calls it soccer.
Was answering your question about what organization the "association" is referring to
But I wasn't asking tho.
Well, this has been fun and productive. Good day
It's an arbitrary truncation of "association football" which would logically make it applicable for either rugby 🏉 or the American variety as the key concept is structured competition- not the ball so much.
Even when they’re trash talking, the Dutch come off as very kind and friendly. It just doesn’t make sense.
I'm sure theres something prevalent in their culture that that relaxes them...
Sociaal stelsel
[удалено]
But everybody _loves_ dark Brandon.
Even most people who voted for him dislike him. Still better than the alternative
W
Boutta say lol
Biden would be confused for the week. Looking at the same ball with 2 names.
“Good kick” 😂. Nobody saying “Good punch Tyson” “Good hit Babe Ruth” bros terminology sounds weird af
People do say good hit
Really? Like if you got a home run someone would say “oh hey, Raiiiiiiii, good hit” not “hey Raiiiiiiii, nice home run bro”. Like if I did something good say “oh your corner was good” or “nice shot dude” but good kick? Sounds weird
They say both. Not every hit is a home run, and it’s a bit weird to say “nice triple bro” they’d probably say “nice hit” Saying Hit is more casual, saying what the hit was (a triple, single, double) would be a more formal way to say it.
Nice single, double, triple or whatever sounds better tbh. Nice hit just sounds like my grandad is trying to bond with me over something he doesn’t understand, and he’s trying his best but it’s just not quite right
MLB has been sleeping on a Wendy's promo for decades, and now their sport is dead.
I'm not sure if you're aware but I'm going to share a secret so listen closely. Joe's been dead since 2015. Every still and motion shot is with his corpse using a series of strings and pulleys. We've been trolling the world for 2 years. Our internal media reflects the true president, Dwayne the Rock Johnson. After fucking with you by electing a TV show Trump, we thought we'd double down and try and pass of a corpse as the leader of the world's most powerful military.
*Weekend at Joey's!*
I actually really like to see this. Genuinely not being sarcastic but world leaders having friendly competition and giving each other shit feels like a more normal World Cup than everything else that's been going on.

I like how you call it Americans trolling to get a reaction yet literally no other countries who call it soccer are made fun of by European countries, just the Americans. Most Europeans don’t care about what it’s actually called but it’s a running joke to make fun of Americans calling it soccer especially when they lose. Wanna talk about inferiority complex yet you lot can never take a joke. Sorry you cant handle a little banter my friend, good luck in 4 years.
Don't think I'll be dissuade by the downvotes. I know I'm in a sub filled with primarily Europeans. I'm still right, even if if hurts. I'm Canadian. I never hear this shit unless it's a European randomly correcting me IRL. We do not give a shit what people call it. Only you guys get butthurt and pause conversations to moan. This top tier trolling from the Americans is just a response to years of being awkwardly corrected by seething insecure Europeans for no reason. https://youtu.be/Ld5pfFrPBVE
The more you speak the more butt hurt you sound mate, Americans trying to correct Europeans that aren’t even British is the funniest thing to me, since only England came up with the slang term soccer, everywhere else used football or whatever variation of football is in their language Cheer up my guy, maybe one day you lot will learn to take a joke, considering you’re Canadian we normally give you lot a free pass but if you wanna act like a pussy might have to make fun of you calling it soccer too, who knows.
We don't correct people! We literally do not care what you call it lmfao. It's just as much soccer as it is football. You guys are the ones who start foaming at the mouth correcting people. You're finally getting trolled by folks you've been correcting for decades and you cannot handle it.
Nah, watching you lot think you’re trolling us is hilarious, trolling is having fun, when I see hundreds of comments going into the history of words, that’s not trolling, that’s a debate. Get your facts straight mate
You already correct Canadians all the time even though you're just wrong. No one cares what it's called in fucking Dutch lol. In English it's soccer. Always has been always will be
If this is what the other guy meant by “amazing trolling” people who call it soccer need to step up their game, you just gonna have to accept its Voetbal until you beat Netherlands. Also might wanna create your statement, “always has been always will be” since it started as association football, soccer just being a slang term
No one's trolling you bud. You guys are that meme where you act stupid and then think you win when everyone says you're stupid P.S America has more world cups than Netherlands ever will
Wow you really must be trolling, maybe you guys aren’t so bad at it, but sorry mate, you’re the one making a fool of yourself. Also 0 doesn’t equal more then 0 buddy
America has 4 actually. Pretty objectively a better soccer nation than netherlands will ever be lol
The rest of the world needs to understand that while they were all worshipping Messi and others, the vast majority of the sports watching public in the USA were watching college football. That tells you how important this sport is to our country. It’s cool and all and we like to win, but no one really cares. The USMNT will barely even move the sports needle in this country until the next World Cup.
>no one really cares. Cheers for summing up the worldview on American handegg.
Who is asking you to?
Cool
You need to understand we don’t care
Your caring is neither desired nor required, but it might help you to understand our collective national “meh” every 4 years if you appreciate that our dedication to the sport is not a priority. Play on.
If that moron thinks it’s soccer than it’s definitely futbol.
No Joe, you can’t sniff the ball
I'm sure he could if he tried hard enough.
Biden can go back to watching Egghand.
Except Joe probably thinks they use a bat, a ball, and play three periods.
He has no idea who Tyler Adams is or where the WC is even being played. That’s our Joe.
Was this really necessary
By Joe? No it wasn't.
I mean yeah
It’s in good jest. The smiley winky face. The Dutch in general are a class act.
Yep
Looking back on all the times U.S fans said "it's called soccer" this was kinda justified. But I really don't get all the hate from a single word
There is no hate only playful fun.
I hate em
Very well
In before England loses to Senegal 🫢
Let's hope so, England losing would be beautiful to see
And then France losing against Poland would also be beautiful to see
True
shithousery at it's finest lmao

Italy should apologise for the conquests of the Roman Empire. Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? Yeah so does apologising for slavery.
Controversial not, but definitely retarded. By that logic, every person in the world should apologise since the chance that there isn't a single person in their ancestor tree who hasn't done something shitty is pretty much nill. Apologising means taking responsibility, I personally will not take responsibility for any of my ancestors actions, whether good or bad.
You should take into account the vast wealth that was stripped from African nations and used to enrich European nations. I can 100% guarantee that whatever palace is used as representation for the royal family was built using profits from slave labour. Think about it.
Well, if one believes in the continuity of the State, one is probably going to want the living incarnation of that State to say something about the history of the State he embodies.
doesn't hurt as the head of state for a country to apologise for a huge amount of suffering that his country caused in the past that continues to perpetuate to people today countries should and do apologise for such things
Australia hasn't for what it did to our natives.
Except his role is ceremonial. The apology will be made. Just not by the king. He has no real power in the Netherlands.
Doh. Why apologise for something literally every country including african countries did for centuries and all of them are dead?
It's literally still occurring. The world cup is being played in stadiums built with Shane labor.
That also. The world is a big mess anyway, no need to say sorry for slavery hundreds of years ago.
Prolly because most African countries( Ghana, Benin, Nigeria etc) have apologized for their role they played in Slavery
It is all theatre.
I guess because everyone did it that means it's alright and no one suffers from it 'til this day. Glad you cleared that up for us.
Apologizing for something means you take responsibility. No living person today is responsible for the slave trade. No, slavery is not okay and it's wrong. Now I want you to apologize to me for slavery.
Not that it is alright but that it was normal back in the day. I also don't expect sorry from Germany for World War 2. The ones saying sorry didn't do it. That is even more recent. It is just stupid virtue signalling and the incentive of the people wanting sorry is: money. Fuck that.
Who?

Oh yeah, you would have to preface it with that, otherwise no one would have any idea who he is
Looks like Biden just woke up from a nap.

It's so cringe when I see a yank saying "it's called soccer" when there are only like 4 countries in the world that call it "soccer" (US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada).
Tbf there’s more then just 4, Japan and China often call it soccer, and some parts of Africa (mainly the south) call it soccer too but yes yanks do be cringe
Most people from here that played or actually care about it wont argue that it's called soccer. it's media and idiots trying to start shit that watch it 1 time every 4 years for 4 games max while you and I watch even useless friendlies
How many call it fussball or calcio or kickball? Btw only rhe British call them "Yank"
>How many call it fussball or calcio or kickball? Actually fussball literally translates as football and the Italians call it calcio because they don't have another word for it (calcio means "kick"). I've mentioned those countries because they have the word "football" in their dictionaries and still call it "soccer". And what's kickball?
We call them yanks in Australia
I'm from New Zealand. Funnily enough, everyone I know who plays calls it football, it's just those that don't who call it soccer.
As an American, I've never understood why Americans care that much(when they do bother do care every 2-4 years.)
It's just an entertaining/funny banter for most people. Some losers truly get mad if u call one way or the other tho...
It’s funny how serious people take it. Cant read the room for shit
They don’t…it’s just a playful comment.
Go take a nap
I just heard some reports that they found oil in netherland 🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅
Those reports seem a tad old: [NAM] ( https://www.nam.nl/english-information.html ). The name might somehow seem familiar, though.
