I despise the usage of the word "Soccer". The sport was invented and named by the English as "Football". The fact that America can come along and rename EVERYTHING sickens me.
QFT nice going spation ;)

Thankyou Tails.

I also checked up on football on Wikipedia, it seems to favour my argument.

Of the 45 national FIFA affiliates in which English is an official or primary language, only three (Canada, Samoa and the United States) actually use "soccer" in their organizations' official names, while the rest use football (although the Samoan Federation actually uses both). However, in some countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, use of the word "football" by soccer bodies is a recent change and has been controversial.
