How do football clubs cope with linguistic diversity in their teams? Which officials and politicians are insulted by French fans on their forums? Do online minute-by-minute live commentaries work the same or differently in different cultures? If the digital referee calls an offside in a football video game, can you question it? How do fans fight to retain traditional stadium names? Which teams are involved in the rivalry between "Herne-West" and "Lüdenscheid Nord"? To what extent does Ghana's culture determine the imagery of its football commentaries? This book not only answers all your questions about language(s) and football, but also many more that you have not yet asked yourself. A wealth of linguistic disciplines and numerous countries and languages on several continents: football brings them all together.
