Hello Everyone !!!

I was wondering if anyone could help me out on this one 'Soccer'. How did this word come to be? Football is self explanatory, but soccer ?

The word soccer came into use in the late 19th century and has its origins in the word 'As-soc-iation' (as in association football). The practice of adapting words in this way (and adding an '-er' ending to them) also spawned the word 'rugger' and was particularly common among young Victorian gentlemen of the time. England international C Wreford-Brown, who played for both Oxford University and Corinthians, is the man widely credited with first using the term. Americans are, of course, eternally grateful to Mr Wreford-Brown. --- from the book Motson's National Obsession; The Greatest Football Trvia Book Ever..

Soccer in the United States, became more common after than elsewhere in Europe and the United States was already in use in football to understand the sport of American football, the intermediate option was tested in 1945 and 1975, when an organization controlled the football in the United States has been called the United States Soccer Football Association.
