    Why it is called "Soccer" by some

    Turns out it was the Brits again!

    EIGHT HUNDRED periods of just slightly under two calendar months!


    Interesting and informative, even if the pretty girl with that dreamy accent isn't to your taste.

    Ruben Sosa - is she totty or anti-totty: tell us, oh guru!
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    PMSL - Just this morning I saw that you were subscribed to her you tube channel! I was going to post it up on totty watch.

    Work hasn't been too productive today but I have learnt so much from her already today " I'm Happy as a clam" !
    As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls

    The word 'soccer' was mainly used by the posh public schoolboys. It was trendy to shorten words. ie Rugby was rugger etc.

    The hardshaws up north who formed The Football League however preferred the term football.
