Chapter 17: Soccer
"Hey America, do you want to play a game of soccer after the meeting?" Australia asked during one of the lunch breaks. "I just bought a new soccer ball last week and I need someone to help me break it in."
"Sure, but only if you're ready to lose." America said cheekily.
"Like that's ever going to happen." Australia snorted as he threw one of his fries at America.
"Says the one who can't even aim." America sniggered as the fry flew over his head. They watched the fry fly through the air, and then land on the top of England's head.
"I take it back, your aim is perfect." America sniggered as he and Australia shared a fist bump.
"You wankers!" England shouted angrily as he stormed over. "Why are you throwing food like children?"
"He claims he can beat me in a soccer match." Australia huffed as he pointed at America, who stuck his tongue out in reply.
"Don't you mean football?" England asked, his eye twitching in annoyance.
"No, we mean soccer." America said.
"That's not the right word." England said angrily. "America, I can understand why you use the word soccer as you're always stupid like that but don't encourage Australia to start using it."
"Dude, I'm not the only one who uses the word soccer instead of football." America said as he glared at England.
"That's right. I can name at least three other countries that do as well." Australia said with a smirk.
"Oh really?" England said as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Why not prove it? Who are the other three?"
"OI, CANADA!" Australia shouted across the room to where the Canadian was sitting, "IS IT SOCCER, OR FOOTBALL?"
"I call it soccer." Canada said, barely looking up from his book.
"JAPAN, IS IT CALLED FOOTBALL, OR SOCCER?" America called over to Japan, who was sitting on the other side of the room.
"I call it soccer." Japan said with a nod.
"IRELAND, IS IT CALLED SOCCER, OR FOOTBALL?" Australia shouted over to the Irish man. (He just so happened to be walking in the door.)
"SOCCER! SUCK IT ENGLAND." Ireland shouted back.
"Why the hell do you call it soccer?" England asked crossly as he glared at Australia and America.
"We call it soccer to piss you off." Australia said with a grin.
"That's pretty much the only reason." America said with a shrug.
"WANKERS!" England yelled as he shot them a rude hand sign, and stormed out the room.
A/N: America is not the only country to call it soccer. From what I looked up Canada, Australia, Japan, Ireland, Southern Africa, and Oceania call it soccer. And no, Americans don't call it soccer just to piss off England. (Ok, maybe some people do.) For more information, look up this site. football-vs-soccer-map-2013-12
