Keeper could probably stay. Boot, Kit, pitch - those should go.

Why? Basketball calls it a court, football a field, all sports have their own.

Some countries (England) call it a pitch. That’s not an American term - my issue

They invented it. They get to name the terms.

Come on. It's not like they're using French terms...they're all English.
