Right lets get this cleared up once and for all football was invented long before American football or Aussie rules football as is the most popular and biggest played soprt in the world. Thus it's has earned the right to be called football, the only countries that call it soccer are "USA" and Austrailia" the rest of the world call it football, it's about time these two countries towed the line. Anyway rant over ;D

Well I'm guessing this forum is primarily aimed at US sports fans so that's probably why.

Sorry Rich, But the word 'soccer' was actually created by us brits in th late 19th century. It is a corruption of the term as soci ation rules, football. it was used to separate the new game of rugby-football and the older game of Etonian football, so the Americans are using the correct word. sorry but I am as English as you can be and its the truth.
