Shameless on 21 July 2008

I've always wondered why Americans have stolen the word 'Football' when their game has nothing to do with feet.

Most often, the word "football" is used to refer to the code of football that is considered dominant within a particular region. So, effectively, what the word "football" means usually depends on where one says it.

The name "soccer" (or "soccer football") was originally a slang abbreviation of the word "association" from "association football" and is now the prevailing term in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand where other codes of football are dominant.

The world know it, football is soccer... BTW go back to play MGS...
