The Americans have no originality, they could not think of a word so they stole ours, seing as the English are extremely resourceful, we managed to think up another word to use.

"Soccer" is short for Association Football

The word "soccer" comes from an alteration of "assoc.", which is an
abbreviation of "association football".

Can we call that TACKLEBALL? Because all players always tackle for that ball. What about ARMBALL??
Hey, American - PLEASE CHANGE THAT now? Thanks!
