Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries ‘fútbol’ refers to what English speakers call ‘soccer’. The word ‘balompié’ also exists but is rarely used outside of formal contexts. Remember to keep the accent on *sí* and *fútbol*; dropping them changes the meaning or makes the word orthographically incorrect.
