That "autogoal" discussion, I get it as it means "self". As in, autobiography or automobile. But since a goal is always scored by your self, all goals are, technically, autogoals. So it feels like autogoal is technically inaccurate. An own goal feels more correct. #2172 in Vol XXVII of Pointless Discussions.

I have to say that I'm pretty surprised that in English it's an own goal, rather than autogoal. I get what you are saying, but in Croatia it's autogol (goal in Croatian is "gol"). But never mind.
