When the Super Bowl or whatever is shown in France what do they say for yard? "Verge" works just fine in Quebec, but it implies penis in France.

It's part of the American measure system. A yard doesn't even exist in France, like miles and inches, etc... They use the metric system. But yes, in Quebec you can say verges, we use both systems. (I live in Quebec)

Why would they need the word yard in a country that uses the metric system?

don't care
just watch the game you'll learn that the word yard is only in this country's national language
36inch in a yard
or metric 39inches in a meter
you can figure it out

"Un yard, deux yards, trois yards...".
"Verge" is nautical. "Yard" is statutory. English doesn't seem to differentiate between the two.
