@Bond Sadly yours is more inaccurate Soccer is actually the correct term! Soccer as we Americans call it comes from the English Association Football. Players who played As"SOC"iation Football played Soccer, those who played Rugby Football played Rugby. Football became a popular term in England when the Rugby Footballers started to use Rugby only. The US took the Football from Football Rugby and ran with it.
