The U.S., Canada, Japan and a few other countries call the sport known as "football" in most of the rest of the world "soccer." Turns out that, like the sport itself, the word "soccer" is itself an export from England, and it had its genesis in the term "association football." The English being the English, of course, that somehow turned into "soccer." For reasons known only to God, Queen and Country, right? ;-)
