Americanisms get my goat.
"The Go ahead goal" is probably my least favourite. Closely followed by "zero zero" instead of 'nil nil' and "Uniform" when referring to the players kit.

There's only ****ing one of each. It'd be very confusing if two or more teams had the same name.
See also the pluralisation of players names, which is equally annoying. Although at least there could be a few exceptions: Ronaldo, for example.
