Soccer is the same as Football. Finally, I know!

Soccer is the same as Football.

Finally, someone took the time to point out to me why the world's most popular sport is called by two names.

Timely at that because the 2010 World Cup games is narrowing down and the games are getting intense.

Personally, Football seemed to be more appropriate. The sport, in fact, involves using your foot in hitting the a ball in purpose towards the net and score a goal.

But is enlightening to know that soccer is indeed the alternate name given by the sports' founder to differentiate it from another established sports.

Good to know then the two names isn't really an upmanship-of-sorts between two continents.

And the soccer ball? Well, any football er... soccer fan would be thrilled to have the actual ball of the 2010 World cup as memorabilia.
