Soccer Spirits Terminology & Abbreviations:
General internet slang used in Soccer Spirits
f2p, scrub - free to play, people who spend little of real money into a game.

Cheese - some may define cheese as system/glitch abuse, others as deviant tactics, using game mechanics not as they were intended to or even playing the way devoid of any strategical effort. However most would agree that cheese tactics are often abhorrent or unfair. In SS, 'cheese' may refer to skills that drain % of opponent HP, with or without regard to other definitions of this word.
