ok heres the true answer....
In the 1800s when football was being played in England (where it was invented) you had to be part of a gentlemans club to play on a team. These were called Associations. Note: all the major football organisations in the world are called "associations" i.e. FIFA, UEFA, FA. The word soccer is a barstardisation of the word as"soc"iation...hence "soca" or soccer.
God knows how they came to choose that one....
must have been on the beer...

Soccer is called football everywhere but the Americas. It is called football because you play it with your feet.
