Why is this called Soccer and not Football?

    Football or Soccer

    Just looking at this the last while with the United Liverpool match coming and going.

    Just wanted to know why its called soccer? People call it football more often than soccer. I know that soccer is an abbreviation of association football or something like that and I know the whole confusion of Gaelic Football situation.

    BUT the national body for football in Ireland is the FOOTBALL Association of Ireland. The Irish Clubs tend to have FC after them and not SC, so why oh why do we have to put up with the "soccer" forum as if we are in the states?

    Because we are in IRELAND where Football is often as not a GAA sport. If you have a particular issue with this then please raise it in feedback, the place for such queries. There the admins will see it possibly and answer any queries you may have.

    Thanx
