Football is the original and only proper name for the game (generally you use your feet to kick the ball)... :)  

Soccer is a made up word by you lot over the pond


Ah no.

The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as an Oxford "-er" abbreviation of the word "association".

but you missed my point entirely,


No, I was just pointing out that we American's always get blamed for creating and using the word soccer.  The rest of the world think we are crazy.  And it's wasn't even us!  It's your bloody island sharing English cousins over there!  :rolleyes:
