miguel_7811:Which translation do you guys prefer for the word "football" or "soccer"? "Futbalo", the loanword, or "piedpilkado", which is more Esperantized? I prefer the latter.In New Zealand, "football" may refer to any of three different ball-kicking sports - rugby union, rugby league and Association Football or "soccer", while in Australia they have a fourth: Australian Rules.
They are all forms of piedpilkado but sometimes you have to distinguish between them. So I call ...
rugby union - rugbeo
rugby league - dektriopa rugbeo
Association Football or "soccer" - futbalo
Australian Rules - piedpilkado laŭ aŭstraliaj reguloj
and American football or "gridiron" - piedpilkado laŭ usonaj reguloj.

I usually say piedpilko for football as it's more in the Esperanto style, but I don't have a problem with futbalo and that word is well established in the language for Association Football. I guess the only problem with futbalo is the fact "football" is used by other countries in the Anglosphere for various egg-chasing games, so it might be unclear as to which sport you're talking about.
As for piedpilkado, I find that a bit of a mouthful and I don't think it's necessary to add the -ad. It should be quite clear from context whether you're talking about the game or the ball.
