Jarus: Growing up, there were some terminologies we used in local, street football, which in hindsight, are funny.

Let's relive the memories here:

1, Ogirigbamila (when you use the wall to support your play)
2, Orey/ori (when the ball passes through the stone used as goal post
3, F'olohun s'ole (Use God as keeper, when nobody wants to be the keeper)
4, Ege irole/ Goal irole ( late in the evening, when the football play is almost ending, and players start catching fun with mockery dribbles and goals)


Can we list more? I know it depends on one's locality and language e.g most of the terms h ere are Yoruba.

Forgive me if someone else had mentioned this too -

"I one, I two..."

Whoever says "I one" gets to choose his team and the same goes for Mr. 'I Two' - others have to wait for their set. Just saw some kids do it and God, I so used to dislike it especially if am not the first, second or third to quickly say so and if whoever had said so was not my 'friend' - that one is sure banker that I won't get picked by the fella. Just getting picked can make you the firend of such person or mend fences with your fellow 'tiffer'. lol
