ENJOY. I hope this helps you learn more about and appreciate my favourite sport......Soccer! SOCCER OR FOOTBALL? The term "soccer" was coined by the British in the late 1800s. "Soccer" was picked as a way to differentiate from another kind of football - Rugby. For a similar reason, "soccer" was the term used in America as a way to differentiate from Gridiron and in Australia to differentiate from League and Rugby. For years both "soccer" and "football" were used interchangeably though "soccer" was more popular after World War II. In the end, British fans gravitated to the term "football" as they wanted to distinguish themselves from Americans. In 2005 the Australian Soccer Association renamed itself Football Federation Australia to align the game here with what it was mostly called around the world. "Soccer" is still used widely in Australia today and for this reason I'll use the word "soccer" in this website. |
