Yes. "Soccer" is a term that literally comes from England via English slang, short for Association Football, was transplated to other English speaking countries (Australia and Canada), then was replaced locally in the U.K. by the term football.

It's called garbage

No we are talking about the beautiful game here in FOOTBALL not your Yankee shit in American Handegg, Baseball. Basketball or Ice Hockey.

Never realized so many MLS teams knew the correct name for the sport. So nice to see so many MLS teams using FOOTBALL CLUB in their names.

Little fact for you when it first formed the United States Soccer Federation was known as the UNITED STATES FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. Then in 1945 changed it's name to the UNITED STATES SOCCER FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION and then in 1974 dropped the word "football" from it's name and became the UNITED STATES SOCCER FEDERATION.

So you see the US themselves have used the name "football" for the sport.

If i recall, it used to be called soccer but like many words we have, the Brits changed their mind and eventually switch to football. There's a correlation between former English speaking British territories and use of the word soccer(Australia, America, Canada, S.Africa).

There fixed that for you.

I don't think The Manchester United fans will be very happy with you since you have their bitter rivals on that list but not them.
