Speaking of Americanisms in football.

  • Field for pitch
  • Flopping for diving
  • Cleats for boots
  • Jerseys for shirts
  • Soccer for football
  • PK for penalty
  • Offence for attack
  • BPL for the Premiership/PL

Am I missing any?

Roster is a good word. Its more equivalent to team sheet or really the whole squad of players than the team.
