While I was in Japan, I was given the opportunity to teach soccer skills to some kids, which was really cool. I also picked up a few Japanese soccer terms, so, if you are ever in Japan, here's a few words which which to impress your friends:

1. sokka (pronounced: soh-cah) = soccer
2. golu/goru (pronounced: goh-luh/goh-luh - it's kind of confusing, but it's kind of a cross between an r and an l) = goal
3. golukipa/gorukipa (pronounced: goh-loo-key-pah/goh-too-key-pah) = goalkeeper
4. bolu/boru (pronounced: boh-loo/bohroo) = ball
