Hi. I don't know if your the right folks to ask this but my wife told me: "You get that word of the day thing, ask them." So I shall. My question is, if we call soccer in America, soccer. And they refer to the same occupation in the rest of the world as football. What does the word soccer mean in "the rest of the world"? I suppose Americans stole the word football and bastadized it. That seems evident. But what is soccer? What does it mean to a person in Italy for example.....
