ORIGINAL: Hertston quote:
ORIGINAL: Monter_Trismegistos WTH is Soccer? What Americans call football, because they have another game called Football (with rather less justification!) As far as I know, the World Cup has never been called the "Soccer World Championships" by FIFA. Actually "soccer" was originally English. It was an abbreviation of Association Football. It just fell out of favour in England. Things are even more confusing here in Australia because there are four codes all vying for the use of the term "football": Rugby Union, Rugby League, Australian Rules Football and world football.
