Refering to football as foot egg when it’s actually a ball as opposed to the hand egg in the US is weird to me.

OT: La Liga shouldn’t have this kind of power and it’s good to see the court take a stance

They call American football handegg, we should be able to do the opposite. :P

The opposite of "hand egg" is not "foot egg".

And the point is that the object played in "American Football" is not a ball. Balls are round. It is egg shaped. The object played in "Football" is a ball. Describing the ball in football as an egg just makes you look like you can't see properly.

i get it, it’s not the canonical “egg shape”, but many eggs (fish/frogs/etc) are spherical.

"Foot Fish-egg" would be pretty funny, I agree.

Foot-roe, or foot-spawn for amphibians.

that just sounds petty for the sake of pettiness, surely you can do better in terms of mocking

Which is foot ball. Not foot egg.

Soccer is also known as "divegrass", not footegg...

The opposite would be foot ball. Although both are petty as anyway both are called it because it is played on foot with a ball. Not because you use your foot to kick a ball.
