What is the governing body for soccer in England? I used to think it was FIFA, but it seems to me now it is not so. FIFA is based in Switzerland!

The FA governs football in England.

Every country has their own governing body.
Every continent has their own governing body that "governs" the countries within them.
So for England, they would be under UEFA.
FIFA is the governing body of the world.

Al has got it right. the FA (Football Association) governs football in England, UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) governs football in Europe and FIFA (Federation of International Football Associations) governs international football.

The Football Assosiation (or the FA) governs football in England.
FIFA governs World Football (Euro Championships, World Cup, African Cup).
