I’m Korean, so i know that the article’s translation came out as “world football”, while Dylan’s method gives u the exact and correct translation. haha i do the same thing in wikipedia sometimes, clicking on the links on the left in other languages, in case i want to know a hard word in Korean. good effort on the article though~ haha thanks for the effort for the article, but I think Dylan’s way of finding the translations worked out a lot better.

And Cameroon speaks French (not to mention South Africa has 11 official languages), so I’d say they are tied ;) “not true, brazil qualified, and they’re not a spanish-speaking country”
