| Message | Well, seeing USA's victory over Mexico, we feel that Soccer is now the rightful name over "futbol" or "football". We are therefor willing to give ground on this however, with them both being equal. How about that? |
| Date | 04:20:08, September 14, 2005 CET | From | Totalitarian Party | To | Debating the Soccer, or Fútbol? or Football? |
| Message | I'd prefer just "football" or the current value. As far as I know, the majority of football-playing nations in the world refer to the sport as football. If we can't resolve this, perhaps a different sport that has only one name would be best. I'd prefer Rugby Union over football. |

| Message | I'm undecided on the Spanish translation. It doesn't really seem to be appropriate for our nation, but it is better than having two names listed. |

| Message | Well, since we are a tropical island nation (as was decided on before the kalistan war) I feel that it sortof applies... |
| Date | 08:37:26, September 15, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Centre Party of Gaduridos | To | Debating the Soccer, or Fútbol? or Football? |
| Message | I'd like to see the current format of football (soccer) changed, not sure if this is the right way to do it though. |

| Message | at the end of the day football is football and america is trying to influence the world again by changing the name, but is neither here nor there so to settle this how about we just have football / soccer A bit of common sense would see this as a goo solution for all |
