It is not soccer, it is FOOTBALL!!!
In England: F.C. Liverpool. What does the "F" stand for? Football of course!!!
In Germany: F.C. Bayern. What does the "F" stand for? Fussball(=Football) of course!
In Spain: F.C. Barcelona. What does th "F' stand for? Futbol(=Football) again!!!
I assume you already know that there are hundreds of thousands of such examples around Europe (and also South America).
There are very few countries which use the word soccer in order to distinguish the sport from some other national sport that is given the same name. This is ok, they can live in their own world if they want, but it is not fair to establish it as an international term through the Internet! The World Wide Web is GLOBAL and all people (except three countries USA,Canada & Australia) around the world call this sport with its right name. Experience has taught me that people who use the term 'soccer' usually (99%) have absolutely no idea about football (or should I call it real football?).
I hope that this will be better understood in the future.
