As a revisit to the above, it would make sense to say Americas vs America However, many amongst your side are American, as well, so it would offer the false premise that it is solely American players vs players who inhabit other counties in the Americas
In English has more sense this... but if you read again... has "accented e", is in Spanish. Am+¬<---rica (The Country)
Also "tacos" is a Spanish word 
BTW Thanks, I didn't know how The continent was called in English...

It actually derives by the name of the italian (or to be more precise florentine) explorer Amerigo Vespucci. Maybe you're referring to him as a spanish because he worked for spanish reigns but that wouldn't make him nor the name America spanish. This is probably correct, I tried remembering off the top of my head, which I only remembered he was a merchant in Florence who probably had no clue before he died that a continent was named after him. Regardless, it's latin, which is much closer to spanish then english.
Martin Waldseem++ller and Mathias Ringmann (Germany) was there first geographers who draw The Continent bassed in the Cartography work "New World" of Amerigo Vespucci, they give the name it America (Americas) in honor of him.
Because the sintaxis and grammar of spanish, we have to put a accent, but... the real name was "America".... so this is more confusing
