German football meaning soccer?
German football meaning FOOTBALL - a game in which the BALL is controlled with the FOOT. If the game was called soccer, FIFA would be called FISA.

I'm so much not a sports guy but futbol is the only proper football, I mean we get to use our hands and stuff in US football...
Not to mention we get to build really big stadiums at taxpayer's expense.  They allegedly create jobs.
By the way zeuhl is pronounced zeuhl.

If you listen to Mekanïk Kommandöh of the MDK album, you hear them sing zeuhl and pronounce it as /tsø(h)l/ Although they are not that consequent in their pronunciation: I've hear them say /zø(h)l/ as well on the same album... Frenchies, ay?Embarrassed Note that the (h) stands for a short time keeping the previous vocal and thus making it longer than if there hadn't been an h in the word. You can transcribe that fonetically as /tsø:l/ in that case, though I think this silent h does more than just lengthening the previous vocal it also denotes aspiration, if you'd ask me...

By the way, maybe nice to know for the ones among you who care: "eu" is the official Dutch spelling of the vocal /ø/; though in Dutch you here the slide from more resulting in this /øʏ̯/ (in the case of a long ø), so it resembles more the Flamish "eu" /ø:/, I guess. 
Neus /nøʏ̯s/ (Standard Dutch for nose)
Neus /nø:s/ (Flamish Dutch for nose)
