Association Football was better know as "assoccer" and naturally evolved into "soccer" which is much easier for a schoolboy to say...

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.

 O'Neill: build the stadium - Soccer - www.theage.com.au
Australian Soccer Association boss John O'Neill yesterday urged the Victorian Government to press on with a planned $100 million makeover for Olympic Park, whether or not the city gets the go-ahead for the fourth Australian Super 14 franchise.
O'Neill, head of the Australian Rugby Union before being headhunted to run Australian soccer, argues that there is plenty of justification for building a 25,000-seat high-quality rectangular stadium in the heart of Melbourne's sporting precinct, irrespective of the decision his ARU successors make next month.
But, says O'Neill, soccer has a much longer and deeper history in the state and deserves, along with the rugby league club Melbourne Storm, to have a purpose-built stadium to cater for the needs of its new A League club Melbourne Victory.

Junior soccer and Aussie Rules clubs have been living together happily at the big reserve for many years, but a push supported by WA soccer’s governing body Football West for soccer clubs to add the term football to their names has upset the harmonious relationship.

The national soccer authority went from being the Australian Soccer Association to the Football Federation of Australia with the local body, the WA Soccer Association, becoming Football West last year.

Less than three weeks into the job as chief executive of the Australian Soccer Association (ASA), O'Neill has shown the same enthusiasm, bravado and ambition that helped him to convince the International Rugby Board (IRB) to give Australia sole hosting rights of last year's World Cup after New Zealand had originally been granted sub-host status.
The grand plan comes at a time when the nation's two dominant football codes, rugby league and Australian Rules, are starting their 2004 seasons with police investigating allegations of sexual misconduct involving players from several clubs.
O'Neill, who was hand-picked by Lowy, announced this week that the ASA had signed a three-year deal with U.S. sportswear giant Nike for kits, footwear and balls, giving a much-needed cash boost to the ASA.
