A very good read. Lest I think so. I was suprised to learn the the word Soccer is an English one, and that Brits used to refer to the game as Soccer themselvs.
Just thought some might enjoy the read.

All I'll say is this, what do you do in the game...?
Put foot to ball...therefore football!
Good article though...

The Amarican Football used to measure 1footlong. Pretty sure it dates back to the 1800s, and the people behind it at the time, likly had little knowledge of the football/soccer name debate. And if the articale is correct, Euro Football was prolly called Soccer at the time.
