>>155630421
pitch invasion is when a fan (or multiple) will storm the pitch. Starting XI is the initial group of 11 players starting the game for a certain team. XI obviously meaning 11

I started watching a CIN-NYY baseball stream yesterday that was on the stream site.
Apparently there isn't a fixed team in baseball, the manager can send anyone to pitch and bat out of a large-ish roster.

>>155630327
Those American terms are awful except goalie, which we use as well
>>
>>155630542
why do you have to specify 11 though, it's not like the number of starters changes
>>
>>155630535
It’s how far back they are lined up from the ball before the snap. Makes sense once you know it.

OH i forgot. i hate how they call offense "attack,' they really want soccer to sound like an epic battle o algo when it's slow as fuck

Yes, attack and defence. If anything, offence sounds like a cavalry charge from 1850
