rest of the world called it football, and some british posh cunt called it soccer, and american lached on to that to save their "football".. who only americans actually give a shit about, and we call it rugby or something idk, i dont give two shits about sports, but even i know that shit..
its called football because the "ball" is 1 foot long (foot as Unit of measurement - 30,48cm for the rest of the world) but i still try to find out where the "ball" comes from.
MLS (major league soccer) it the major "soccer" league in USA and Canada.
Ok, it has the word soccer there...
But let's check out some teams are in that league.
1. Austin FC
2. Charlotte FC
3. Chicago Fire FC
4. FC Cincinnati
5. FC Dallas
6. Huston Dynamo FC
7. Los Angeles Football Club
8. Inter Miami CF
9. New York City FC
10. Seattle Sounders FC
11. Toronto FC
12. Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Even if you ignore the Canadians there is a loot of "Football Clubs"
the worst thing is that if you ask someone if they watch football in us , they will think it's their "football" the hand egg one and refer to the real football as soccer which is so annoying.
Originally it's called "Association Football". The name soccer comes from the "soc" in "association". If it's your main code then great but in Australia it's the 4th most popular football code and we still often make the World Cup...
2 points
1) "Soccer" is a European term for a European sport.
2) Football was modeled after Polo, but instead of horses it is played on FOOT, which is why it's called Football
It’s called soccer here in Australia, and after a little search it’s apparently a thing in Canada too. So it’s not just a US thing.
People who lose their marbles over one term being used over the other need more things going on in their life.
