Gracias amigos

La equis es el nombre de la letra x. Debe de estar en tu diccionario.

Esto me recuerda a las quinielas (1-x-2). ¿Se juega a las quinielas en otros países? ¿Cómo se dice quiniela?

So x pools means quinielas. Here there are pools for football and equestrian sports.

I think than when you say football, you mean "fútbol americanno"; and when you say "soccer", you mean "fútbol". Am I wrong?

Yep. Football is fútbol americano and soccer is fútbol.

Sometimes we say betting pools. The purpose of a pool is to wager/bet some money on the team/horse/etc. that you think will win.

In Spain is on the contrary, we add "americano" to the word "fútbol" to distinguish. I don't know if it's the same in Latin America.

Rusty June 20, 2009 07:56 AM

Yes, in Latin America Spanish the distinction is also made. In Amercian English, football always means fútbol americano. Soccer is how we say fútbol.

OK, thanks. I don't like very much sports and, sometimes, I don't pay much attention to this vocabulary :)
