[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 180204"] If you want to be technical, "Football" is a generic term used for team sports where a ball may be kicked on a field of play. Association Football, Rugby Union, Rugby League, Aussie Rules, Galic Football and Gridiron all fall under this banner. If you go to certain parts of the world, "Football" or "Footy" will be used to describe whichever is the most popular code there... In Europe & South America is refers to Association Football, in America it refers to Gridiron, Australia it varies from Association Football, League and Aussie Rules and in NZ it refers to Union. As for "Soccer", that comes from As[b]soc[/b]iation Football, or "Soccer" for short. This term was actually coined by the English not long after the games inception, so it is a correct term for the sport. [/QUOTE]
