Since South Africans call soccer soccer, shouldn't the title be the South African national soccer team? Joziboy 27 Feb 2006, 18:54 UTC
A request for comment regarding the usage of "football" or "soccer", which applies to this and other South African football articles, has been opened at Talk:Soccer in South Africa for anyone who is interested. S.A. Julio ( talk) 01:24, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Elli ( talk | contribs) 22:15, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
– The past arguments against moving the page two or three years ago are not as strong as they once were. Australia's governing body is called Football Australia but the page is titled: Australia national soccer team as that is the most popular term in the country, like is the case in South Africa. The page for association football in South Africa uses the term "soccer," and if the name for this page were moved, it would provide for greater uniformity. Finally, the word "soccer" is the more popular term in South Africa and because the page requires the use of South African English and vernacular, it would make sense to change it to soccer.

OK i didn't see that match i saw highlights if i was referee there i should said "let me think about it ...". Ok i know it hard ref thet big match and what people didn't think about is that if referee said "no" then the Ghanians will to fight for the penalty. I'm not a South African i'm an German. Ayew scored that penalty and if FIFA say let's restart the match Ayew will be angry and disappointed . Percy Tau shpuld have got many penalties but let's see what does CAF and FIFA will say Tank you 41.115.16.139 ( talk) 04:35, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
