Tell you one thing that really bothers me living in the States - when they refer to our teams like this:

 

”Leicester is going really well this year”

 

Utterly ****s me off

 

they scored a great PK!

"...my club"

"get out of my club"

"We've got our club back"

 

Interesting...and which part of the club is yours exactly?

Left footed players have “a wand of a left foot” 

 

Right footed players just have “a right foot”

“Favourite left foot”

 

I've heard, among others, that Pegguy Arphexad and Dion Dublin use the term 'favourite left leg'. Haven't heard of favourite left foot before though

Not really a cliche but Kris Boyd said on soccer Saturday last week - there’s no doubt that Steve Bruce is a human being. 
Wtf???

Drives me nuts when footballers (and now interviewers!) say “obviously” every sentence. 

''Hopefully''

Side netting. In the old days, this meant a shot that missed the goal and hence into the side netting. Nowadays, same reference is used for a goal?

'Score line.'

It's the score.

(Great topic btw. Could be quickest to 100 pages).

Not a cliche, but what does this putting the hand over the face and eyes goal celebration mean? 

Daka has just scored

[Guest StevieLynex]

Saying that teams who play in the Europa League are at a disadvantage when they have to play again on a Sunday, which apparently gives some sort of advantage to their opposition

[JerryLundegaard]

X is ‘at the double’ when they score their second goal. I’m sure the first time it was said it was witty but not so much now.

[ceredigion]

He always gives 110%.

[Wymsey]

Fine margins.

Takes a second bite
