[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 317562, member: 12332"] Soccer is the abbreviated name for As[B]soc[/B]iation football, as coined by the FA when the rules of the game were first drawn up. "Football" is a generic term used for team sports (Including Soccer, Rugby, League, Gridiron, Gaelic, AFL and several others), always used as an abreveation for the the most popular form of it in that particular country. So in the UK, it's Soccer. In Australia, it's AFL. In America, it's Gridiron. The Rugby Forum is an international forum, therefore it's the Soccer World Cup. Anyone who says otherwise is a Marxist.
