 Actually there are a few countries in Africa and a couple in Oceania that call it soccer as well, if we are going to get technical. 22/08/2011 05:42

 Here's a bit of a history lesson for all of you:

Soccer - The word was derived from Association Football, which was the original term given to the game in the 1860s at the elite schools that spawned the sport in England. The abbreviation “Assoccer”, which became “soccer,” was used by the British upper classes of that period. When the sport was embraced by the less fortunate, the name of “soccer” was passed down.

Who didn't understand what this said, it means that "soccer" as a word originated in British higher class in late 1800's. So if you want to blame anyone for calling it Soccer, blame British rich people.

When the sport arrived on US shores in the late 19th century (the US National Team played its first game against Canada in 1885), it was called Association Football. It was not called soccer. Only after the Second World War was the sport commonly referred to as “soccer.” Perhaps due to the growing impact of the NFL (American Football).

The reason why American Football is called just Football in US is the same reason why Brazilian nuts are just called "Nuts". So, to make it less confusing in The States, they started using word soccer to not to confuse with Football (American Football).

On a personal thought, as a european living in the states I don't agree with the name for American Football (Football) due to there is not much contact between foot and a ball unless it's a field goal or a punt, but I do understand the reasoning for calling them football and soccer to avoid the confusion. Although I understand Americans and why they call American Football - "Football" because "Catchandrunball" or "Hitandpassball" just too damn long and confusing.

Here's a funny thing though, in Britain it's called "soccer mum" (as it is in US except it's "mom") but why not "football mum"?

 Interesting, I just call it oblongball, just like I call hockey notaball and baseball gnomeball. Orangeball speaks for itself. 22/08/2011 05:58
