Just glad we actually made it out of group play unlike some others.

Please never call it "group play" again. It's just called the groups. Americans!

I know.
Those pesky Americans.

We don't know anything about soccer but we still make it farther than you.

2 things:

1. It's Football

2. "Make it further than you". Who am I?

It looks like quite a few places actually call it soccer. Including pre-1970 England.

Szymanski wrote Im English, and Im in my 50s, and I remember, as a kid, soccer being a perfectly acceptable word in the U.K., without being this big no-no Americanism that its become, Szymanski said in an interview. There are so many people who seem to be totally ignorant, as if this is entirely an American invention, and so I was keen to set the record straight.

It doesn't matter, people use either 'Football' or 'Soccer' for me i would use 'Football' due to me living in the UK and it has been known as 'Football' in the UK for ages, the word 'Soccer' may of been picked up a bit from World War 2 as some Americans were over in the UK.

The British came across the pond to try and spread the sport. During this time, they were calling the sport soccer.
