Ever wonder where the word soccer came from? In Spain the same sport is called fútbol . In England its football. Here is a short video explanation of the word soccer. The hot Russian is just a bonus.



I'm glad we have our own name for the sport here in the United States. Fútbol and football have long histories of negative political, regional and racial influences. Soccer in the America is still relatively young and finding its own personality. History will show that is our generation that defined soccer in this country. I wouldn't have it any other way.
