if it's called football, then why did YOU name it soccer? seems kind of silly to blame other people for using the name you insisted everyone use.
but that's like imperial measurements, you insisted everyone use them and then changed your mind down the line and now make fun of us for using the Imperial system that Imperial Britian came up with. you have a nasty habit of blaming everyone else for the problems you create.
The freaking English named it soccer to distinguish from rugby football and brought that name here!
And you haven't evolved since then?
