Who Knew?

We Americans use a lot of funny names that the rest of the world (usually very rightly) uses different terms for.

Such as: 'Soccer'.

I've always thought that 'Football' made a lot more sense for the sport Americans call Soccer. American Football is a game largely played by running around holding the ball - the U.S. name does not seem to fit.

Since you're all a worldly bunch, it's likely that everyone knew this but me.

What is the source of the term 'Soccer'?

a) Association Football (UK)
b) Socre Zapato (Spain)
c) So'kre Bashmak (Ukraine)
