History of football
"Played on foot" or "played with the feet"?
The word "soccer"
The word "soccer" began as a colloquialism in Britain, derived from "Association football", from the name of the Football Association, to distinguish it from rugby football, but it has become the formal name of the game in the United States and Australia. (A similar term, "rugger" for "rugby" was once also quite common.)
I have also shortened my text for Canadian football accordingly. Shawn Goldwater 17:34, 2 February 2008 (CST)
