The funny thing is, I read that the origin of the name soccer came from the UK. Then it fell out of user there, and we picked it up.
Term “socca” was initially created as an abbreviated version of “association football” which was often used to differentiate the game from “rugby football.”
In the US, this shortened slang version evolved from “socca” to “socker” and finally “soccer” – and there it stayed."
So Google tells me... LOL. I don't even watch it, whatever name it goes by.
