Multiple tracksuits, warm up tops and kits depending on the match location and competition.

"GREAT SAVE!! "...

Screamed at fever pitch by any taco commentator after a ball is blasted from 6 yards straight at the keeper who wouldn't be able to get out of the way of it if he tried.

They were a 2000s and early 2010s thing, though. Modern football is discussed on Twitter and subReddits.

Subreddits, were the original reddits injured, or was it a tactical switch?

If I had thighs like that, I'd be wearing those Hummel shorts we had in the late 80's, or just speedos.

Government and police condoned near rioting - fireworks, amplified music, hotel fire alarm antics - in and around the hotels of visiting national teams. Gone are the days when a good baton charge - or three - would subdue throbbing mobs baying for the blood of World Cup qualifying rival. Now? They just want to see their rivals nervous systems twitch a bit more before kickoff.

The fact that glory hunting is considered completely normal, in fact it's almost considered better than supporting a local team.
Emirates Marketing Project or Man Utd fans in London commenting on our lack of trophies is the worst example.

Slide rule pass always makes me laugh. Ah, there's cliches in every sport, some more fun than others. Contemplate the standard vocab of slang terms for ice hockey, the second-most popular sports in Canada. After soccer.

Bar down.
Barn burner.
Cheese snipe.
Dirty dangles.
Beat him like a rented mule.
Scratch my back with a hacksaw.
Kick save! And a beauty!
Chuckin' knuckles.
Spittin' Chiclets.
Wheel, snipe, celly.
Yard sale.
Layin' on the lumber.
A Gilmour Gap.
ChickenSwede.
Eurotrash.
Slewfoot.
Gongshow.
Kronwalled.
I'll take a suspension for you.
Bucket.
Twig.
Goon.
Sieve.
Pylon.
Plumber.
Goal suck.
Floater.
Grinder.
Beautician.
Five hole.
Can opener.
Wheels.
Lightin' the lamp.
Bulgin' the twine.
Biscuit in the basket.
Stackin' the pads.
Ridin' the pine.
Chicks did the flow, bro.
Toe drag.
Duster.
Puck bunny.
Coast to coast.
Flamingo.
Dump and chase.
Two minutes for lookin' so good.
The boys came to play, eh?

Every sport has its cliches. As long as we're all clear on what they mean. Eh?
