Just to get the facts straight, Soccer is an abbreviation of the word 'Association' as in Association Football, which is the correct name for football, 'Soccer' was first used by Public (...that is private ) schoolboys in England around the 1860's, to differentiate it from the many other ball games (including rugby,,) that were being played at the time. Also plenty of people in the UK use the term, it is English not American. Don't forget that Americans are the very naughty children of the English, and we are not happy about their behaviour.....
