Invents the word Soccer, calls americans dumb for using it.

(TBF it's dumb, especially since you call hand egg football, sry americans)

apparently its short for association football

The term football used to apply to any ball sport played on foot (as apposed to on horseback). The idea that it could only belong to soccer is actually quite arrogant.

Yep! It was to distinguish Association Football ("Soccer") from Rugby Union Football ("Rugger").

I suppose we should use "Gridder" for North American "Gridiron Football".
