  1. The word soccer comes from a slang abbreviation of the word association, which British players of the day adapted as “assoc,” “assoccer” and eventually soccer or soccer football

  2. The best part of this is that the UK originally called it football, then the US started calling it Football and in the 19th century this made the UK all huffy so they called it soccer. (this was also to differentiate between rugby and football when they were creating more congruent rule sets for the game) then the US started calling it soccer as the rules slowly made their way over and rugby turned into American football and was thus named football. Soccer referred to what the rest of the world called football and by the time the US learned about this, they just said "nope screw it. we changed it once we are not going to do it again."

    TLDR, the UK is actually the one who got the US to call football soccer

  3. The interesting thing about "football" is that it was the ballgame of "footmen" or "footsoldiers" rather than the ballgame of officers, who were riding around on horses. So, strictly speaking, it's just a ballgame played by people on foot.

  4. Ah yes, the sport that is played with a ball and one's feet. And the sport that is played with a leather lemon and one's hands. Which one to call football?

  5. I thought American football was called so because the ball is a foot long? Everyone else in comments has already clarified the whole soccer thing, just want clarification on the American one plz

  6. Rugby is so young and is just a little baby for football. So these Americans could find another word for their stupid gay sport. There was no point in stealing the term and inventing a new one that did not make any sense.

  7. The term soccer actually came from Britain. It was referring to the association "asoc" and the slang term was asoccer and then shortened to soccer. The US just kept the name while Europe generally went back to calling it futbol. It's not just American ignorance

  8. europeans made the word soccer. NOT USA. It was originally called association footbal but then it was changed to ASOCCER but the changed again but except the europeans changed it and removed the A and made it SOCCER. The is asoccer was association and the soccer in asoccer was football. They removed the a because it didnt sound cool. So basically soccer is basically saying football! also usa didnt make soccer just a 2nd reminder
