Socceranto-top goal (but you missed it, this time!) [ No Rating ] 28 Jun 2009
You guys are so right that the game needs a common language THAT YOU CAN ALL UNDERSTAND.

You don't need new ways to say what you are saying already, you need a way to understand each other in the amount of time soccer-players want to spend on linguistics!(not much?)

Adding more language elements to the already fiendishly difficult English language, does not help you communicate. It might help your English-speakers express tribal identity, but does not help your non-English-speakers to converse and be included.

Socceranto is a great idea and it can grow wings if you take the -anto bit more seriously. Esperanto has 28 sounds with their own single letters, the emphasis is on the second-last syllable, You can learn to pronounce and spell all Esperanto words in less than half an hour.Esperanto uses word-building instead of lots of remembering so you spend less time learning (and getting it wrong)and more time making sense to each other.

Let me help you make Socceranto Mark 2 a winner!

All the very best,

Penny Vos

No me agrada el significado que se le dió al término "boca",creo que le correspondería alegría,picardía,fiesta,emoción.
Lo demás está bien ,pero me interesaría saber la simpatía deportiva de los autores,y la bibliografía que usaron para definir ciertos términos.De no ser así solo será un proyecto divertido y se malograría una idea estupenda
Creo que además hay que usar un idioma común para los arbitros
