Soccer or football?!

[Meursault]

Had a conversation with a friend yesterday, a posh to be girl who thinks living in the Windsor area of England 'gives' her the posh status straight away

Anyway I said something like 'didn't know you watch soccer' and she started lecturing me its football in England, soccer in USA...

However found this: 'In the 1880s students at Oxford University created a slang word for the word association. They shortened it to "SOC" and added "ER". So the word soccer war created' thought Oxford is in England

So my question is Soccer or football?

It can swing either way. I call it soccer because of the conflict with gaelic football.

I would usually call gaelic football=football and football=soccer to avoid the clash.

Never got the attraction to watching a game where grown men run around a field chasing a bag of wind and the minute they get it they generally give it away



PS. It's Ireland, here the real men call Gaelic Fooball "football" and the other pansie game is soccer..
