Can someone provide live updates for those of us at work?

I find that very interesting, when football in the States is usually gridiron.
omcfc said:I think it's a nice idea. A club in New York who are affilliated with us (like a sister club). And I think that would make New York City the first City in the MLS to have a true local derby. That will spice up their league no end. I know the last word in everything these days is money, and our owners aren't a charity, but why not make money *and* benefit others at the same time?

You'll find that football is used more and more by those that follow the sport in North America.
Four other teams use football in their name -- Toronto FC, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Seattle Sounders FC and FC Dallas (although it's Fútbol in Dallas' case).
That said, you do get a pushback from some that say that the name soccer should be used, because it reflects the history of the game in North America. There is even a word that is used -- "Eurosnob" -- to describe fans that try to sound sophisticated by using English terms 9pitch instead of field, table instead of standings, etc) when talking about the sport.
