Y'all. The term "soccer" was coined BY THE ENGLISH THEMSELVES and THEY COMMONLY USED THAT TERM UP TO THE 1980s. So I'll abide no sniffy, haughty corrections when I call the sport being played @ the World Cup "soccer," or when I call my favorite sport simply "football." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why is football called 'soccer' in the US? Football is life for millions of fans around the world, but in two World Cup co-host nations, they tend to call it by a different name. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyexj7dggpo
