	It notes "pearly" as a valid rescramble, but not "parley"

	Oh.... Most word scrambles with a common theme which I've done have a word that can be stuck on to the beginning or the end of the word you unscramble.

	Should have put 'nil' in there, too.

	Soccer? I believe you mean football

	ezois:	Mar 7th, 2011 at 14:30 GMT	7 points
	I entered football. It gave me soccer.

	First thought upon getting the theme: "I wonder how many people will complain that it ought to be called 'football'?"

	Replay really shouldn't be on this list. Right Ireland?

	Ninja_Prawn:	Mar 7th, 2011 at 16:04 GMT	7 points
	But you can't ignore the classic FA cup replay. That should keep it on the list.

	I didn't get stoppage, offside, and penalty, and without those 3 this is really just a list of words with not much of a link.

	"Player" more so than "replay", surely?

	Two words confuses me. Cap (this made me think it's baseball) and Booking (does anyone really say this in football?) Why not add "Red" and "Yellow" (as in the colors of the cards) instead of those?

	Okay whiny people who complain that soccer is not a correct term, learn the history. Soccer is a term derived by English sports journalists, who, while writing about Association Football, took the "soc" from Association, and, wanting to shorten the name of the sport coined the phrase soccer by adding "er" to the end (true to the rules of English, they doubled the consonant in order to make a "k" sound). Therefore the term is english, and describes 1 form of football. Association football being played at the Rugby school in England was forever changed when a player picked up the ball and ran it across the goal line. When this stunt was apparently not seen by the official on the field, a new game was invented called Rugby Football. This game went across the Atlantic to the United States where it was played between classes at some of the universities (for example, the Yale freshmen versus the Yale sophomores). When a young Yale student named Walter Camp saw the game his freshman year, he fell in love with it, and made it his life's passion to spread the game. Like anything else, it evolved over time, and while the term "Rugby" was dropped from the title of the game, the name football remained, until the game that is presently played in the United States came into being. Therefore, both games can historically link themselves to football, but since the game played through most of the world is officially "Association Football" and since the word soccer comes from this, it would seem more prudent to call the one soccer and the other football to distinguish them. So let's put this ridiculous argument to rest.

	@mewkam1: "it would seem more prudent"??? No, you're wrong. This is the real way of distinguishing the two. The original game is football. That is what it has been called for hundreds of years and what it translates to very closely in many languages from around the world. Therefore it is logical to refer to the sport played primarily in only 1 country of the world as American Football. The ball hardly even touches the foot in your American Football, and in essence it's just pure selfishness that the Americans value their definition above that of the majority of the world. It's our language (English that is), so abide by it.

	@MatteSe: A cap (ie. international cap) refers to an appearance for one's country, and is used in many other sports as well. And booking is still very much used.

	Too bad "King Boo" doesnt have feet to play football/soccer
