Reuters sports correspondents are experts in their field and football fanatics all. Reporters from Rio to Berlin, from Milan to Tokyo, will regularly give you the lowdown on what goes on behind the scenes with the big international players and the top clubs and national sides. They speak to players in their own tongue and want to start a conversation with you in the language of football.

We’ll raise the issues but it’s your discussion and we want to hear what you think. If there are issues you want to bring up, we want to know about them. We want to hear what you like about the world’s greatest game and what you don’t like. And if you’re not happy with the way we cover the sport, we’d like you to tell us how you think we could do better.

Some people tell us we should always say “football”, not “soccer”. Well, we don’t agree and this is why. There seems to be some strange misconception, especially in the U.K., that the term “soccer” is American. However, the term was probably coined in the 19th century by former England captain Charles Wreford-Brown as a contraction of Association Football — to distinguish it from Rugby Football or “rugger”. It’s a traditional name and we love the game’s traditions — which is why we still say “linesman” and not “assistant referee”. But you may think differently… Just let us know.
