whats soccer? ;)

OH football

You do know that Soccer is actually the more correct term right?

Football is actually a bastardization.

Soccer as a term started in England actually and stands for Assosiation League Football (Also known as Soccer football) to tell it apart from the many other types of football that exist.  For example Rugby Football.

Calling the sport Football is like reffering to the United States of America just as America.

People generally understand what your saying... however some might since you are using a broad term for your sport.

While if you use Soccer.  It's like using "United States".  Everyone knows what your talking about and there is no confusion.

You know.  Just some useful knowledge.

I do not think it is more correct at all. 'soccer' came from an abbreviation of 'association'. So by calling it soccer, you are calling it 'association'. Not very clear what sport it is, is it? Most certainly far less clear then 'football'. Aside from this, USA is the only (or very close to) country in which soccer is the official name.
