Why don't we have a name for when a player scores 2 goals in one game ?

[Oddbob]

Probably for the best if when you score one goal, we call it a onesie! Draisaitl goes up stairs with the onesie.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

My favorite call with this was when Johan Franzen would routinely do it.

"The Mule with a second kick"

In hockey and soccer , when a player gets 3 goals it's called a hattrick

In soccer , when a player scores 2 goals it's called a brace.

So there you have it. When a player scores 2 goals , it's called a brace. Let's make it stick.

Thought two goals was referred to as a "hatty watch"...

 

[Maple Leaf]

Brace lol, they couldn’t come up with something better.

I think because they fake injuries and need a brace

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

I only know the term brace because of Tolkien (Samwise catches a "brace of coneys" for food). In North America, we'd call it a deuce. E.g., "Ovechkin gave us a deuce on the ice tonight!".

 

[D Wakaluk]

In other news there's this one announcer whose goal call is literally just yelling "SCORE!!" ... who is that? And why is he such a brace

 

[LuckyDay]

Brace sounds idiotic.

It's soccer

 

[LuckyDay]

A try? What is "try"?

...and no one wants to hear a "Dropping a Deuce" comment on air...

Doesn't change how dumb it sounds.

 

[wunderpanda]

about 10 years ago, 4 goals was named a pants trick on puck podcast. idk what doug stolhand is up to since then, but i remember the pants trick

Sound like a guy that can't finish or faked an injury

Never heard of.

What's soccer?

its all about mini vans & orange slices

 

[JoVel]

I don't think this is something hockey needs, but I also don't feel like punching through a wall because OP suggested it, as some here clearly do.

 

[SirKillalot]

So if anything should just call it a Hot Dog.

 

[Faterson]

Nobody in soccer calls it a brace either.

Exactly. Looks like the OP picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. "Hattrick" is an international term (spelled hetrik where I live), whereas no one outside British football has ever heard of a stupid "brace", nor should they.

 

[Silky Johnson]

A brace is not really a soccer word. It actually just a synonym for couple or pair - two of one thing. It's a bit "Old timey" but is a word commonly used on England.

It's not analogous to "Hat trick"

 

[Acallabeth]

I think coming up with scoring 4 goals in a game would be more interesting. We call it 'a poker' in Russia, maybe there are other options.

 

[Kojo]

4 goals is un carre d'as in french but two goals is just a double.

 

[Brookbank]

Uh Britain invented "soccer" and the best league in the world is the Premier league. And in the Prem, they use the word brace as often as hattrick. It is used in other leagues also. You just didn't know what it meant

 

[Brent Burns]

During game: “On a hat trick“

 

[drktmplr12]

It's called a huge pair

-Randy Moeller

Looks like you picked the wrong week to quit your ventriloquism hobby. It's always preferable to actually read a post before replying to it. So, again, no one gives a darn about a regional, exclusively British football term, as opposed to hattrick, an international term that has entered the vocabulary of practically all languages. A term doesn't get adopted because Brookbank, a Premier League fan on HFBoards says so. It's a lengthy process, taking decades at least, until a word trickles through all the languages and becomes adopted. How long did it take English and other languages to adopt the Czech word robot? Decades. So, forget your exclusively regional, British football terminology pipedream.

Other than you, I think there are a total of three people in the world who use the term brace.

You have about as much chance of making this stick as I do becoming a thermonuclear physicist and building a perpetual energy source on Pluto.
