 DC United and USA Soccer History
Or, "They call it football, and we call it soccer." The word was derived from Association Football, which was the original term given to the game in the 1860s at the elite schools that spawned the sport.
The abbreviation "Assoccer", which became "soccer," was used by the British upper classes of that period.
Only after the Second World War was the sport commonly referred to as "soccer." Perhaps due to the growing impact of the NFL (American Football), and that the game was perceived as foreign.

In fact, the beginning of major professional soccer in America in the 1960’s is oddly similar to the development of Major League Soccer in the 1990’s.
Dave Litterer and Steve Holroyd describe the situation in this excerpt from their U.S. Soccer History Archives — “the debut of major league soccer in 1967 was a sloppy one, caused by the inability of the major soccer organizers to reach an agreement on a single league.
No, in their minds it was all too clear that the fault lay in the unnecessary competition of the two leagues, which had diluted the support of the “many” soccer fans: give the country one pro league and attendance would zoom.

 Once in a Lifetime - Movie Review :: Soccerphile
The sport and the team came from nowhere to be the hottest ticket in the fashion barometer of the Big Apple, so much so that a New York Mets game had to be stopped because Pele's unannounced presence in the stands was causing a commotion.
This fast-moving and entertaining film, by the makers of the magnificent Oscar-winning documentary "One Day in September," is 1970s in its feel, from the period music and on-screen lettering to the monotone backdrops used for several of the interviews.
The positive conclusion the film offers is the correct observation that football was invisible in America before the Cosmos but their 15 minutes of fame created the youth soccer boom and nationwide 'soccer mom' phenomenon which has produced the players Major League Soccer relies on today.
