Why soccer? |
 | | Association Football was better know as "assoccer" and naturally evolved into "soccer" which is much easier for a schoolboy to say... |
 | | The word "soccer", however, is engrained into the origins of the modern game of association football as much as any other aspect of The Game much of the world enjoys today. |
 | | Finally, it must be remembered that British football, both association and rugby, had been organised in the 19th century by people in the upper echelons of the English educational system, from "exotic" schools, colleges and universities as Harrow, Eton, Oxford and Cambridge, just for starters. |
