Any soccer or football player came across this argument about which one is correct. Almost every country besides United States, Canada, and Australia call it soccer, and others call it football. A sport where you are supposed to kick a ball with your feet should be called football, but where does soccer come from? The original name of the sport was associated football. "Soccer can be derived from 'associated' and football is derived from the second term." (Mahdi) Back then, sports like rugby were called rugger, and it was a trend to add "er", and that is when Britain dropped the term soccer since it became too American. Americans use the term to soccer so that it will be different than American Football. In conclusion, both terms are correct and can be used. This topic created a lot of conflict between sports fans and players.
