I'm autistic. I generally know I like a song after only a few seconds of 'the bit I like'.

But then I also would listen to it 1000 times in a row no problem and never get bored.

This is common for Autistic people, but not so much otherwise I think. I'm 45 and Male, and I like "let it go" and "baby shark". I don't have kids. I know this is considered weird but I don't care.

You are wrong about that.

All refer to it as soccer.

The word in Irish for it? "Sacar".

It's commonly called both Soccer and Football, and always was.

Watch the Six One news and it says Soccer there almost all the time too.

Nope, no dopamine for reading articles, only titles, sorry.

Don't think so, sorry.

It is getting more popular here for some strange reason.

> I had never heard anyone in Ireland refer to it as soccer except when laughing at Americans for calling it that.

That's just your group then.

Guess what? all refer to it as soccer.

What's the word in Irish for it? "Sacar".

How the fuck did you ever live in Ireland thinking that is isn't called soccer here.

It's commonly called both.

EDIT: also if you watch the Six One news every day, they almost exclusively call it Soccer there too.

EDIT2: lol they deleted it because they realised how wrong they were.

They are referring to the Reddit title, not the website title.

The website title doesn't need to mention it because it's for Irish audiences.

It's not Americanisation.

Our word for that sport in Irish is literally "Sacar" (pronounced Soccer), and always has been.

Both Football and Soccer are used interchangably here for that sport.

Gaelic Football is also mostly just called Football.

Yeah either way they got it completely wrong.

Soccer is often referred to as Soccer OR Football here. There is no one or the other. It is and always will be referred to both here.

"Football" also means Gaelic Football. It depends who is saying it.

Also, Why are you people saying "there". Do you not live in Ireland?

You are right. I was brought up on Liverpool/Man Utd/Premier League and I always called it Football because that's what I always heard on TV and it just feels normal.

However, Soccer also feels normal because "Sacar" is our word in Irish for it.

Any people I know that like Rugby/GAA. If they say Football, I know it means Gaelic Football. I've heard either word be used all over for the past 40+ years, so there's no one or the other.

You are wrong. Many people in Ireland refer to it as Soccer.

Literally our word in Irish for it is "Sacar"

Both are correct in Ireland.

• Tá mé ag imirt sacair: refers to OPs type of Football (Soccer/Association Football/whatever).
• Tá mé ag imirt peile: refers to Gaelic Football specifically.

I think he meant that "football" refers to "gaelic football".

Not really, I've lived here for 45 years and you have to know by context. Either word is used interchangeably here and always was. Where you live changes it a bit too.

GAA doesn't mean football. Hurling, Handball, Rounders, and Camogie are GAA, but not Football. Football in GAA specifically means Gaelic Football, but you knew that.

If the person is a GAA follower, then you can safely assume "football" is Gaelic Football.

If the person is not a GAA fan, then you can safely assume "football" is Soccer.

And to anyone else who doesn't know, the Irish word for this type of football is "Sacar", pronounced "Soccer", so it's not shunned as it is in England.
