How Soccer Began

Soccer is just slang for "Associative Football". Everyone but the USA kept the word "Football", while America just took the SOC in "asSOCiative football" and called it SOCcer.

Umm, that's close but not quite right. The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as an Oxford "-er" abbreviation of the word "association". America and Canada just kept calling it that after it was already coined and widely spread. Probably to differentiate between Associative Football and American Football a derivative of rugby that was also called Football as of 1876. Before that there was no standard name and any sport that you played with a ball and your feet could be and often was called football.

i thought they called it soccer cause people thought they were 'suckers'.. hehe just kidding

I'm extremely confused by the whole thing especially with the title

I think the title meant "how the term/word 'soccer' began"

You dun be right

Probably should have just made up another subject, but whatever.

Australia has AFL, Aussie Rules Football, or footy as we like to call it. We also have soccer which is what a large portion of the world calls the sport.

yes because people who decided this decide the fate of the entire country and thus everyone who lives there is automatically a scumbag

Tell that to the person that posted the post

Hell* my apologies fuckers

since you seem to be crazy, I would recommend going outside. Complaining on the Internet to random people doesn't do much.

Checking your comments, guest, we can see you're a racist, using many inappropriate and insulting slurs, such as the N word and saying certain people should be "picking cotton", and even going as far as to calling us, the only other people (aside from the chance of moderators) on here, fuckers. So please, leave our site and never come back.
