I'm no footbal fan myself, but I'm truly puzzled as to why USA denizens refer to some half-rugby half-something else game as football, then call football soccer. Anybody know?

Good question there. I often do be wonderen meself where the word "soccer" originated from. I did a bit of research in me tedasaurus but all it said was that soccer was a form of football.

The term football originally meant "a game played on one's feet" to distinguish the game (the precursor of today's many football codes) from polo, which was the game of the era. Hence "football" can be rightly applied to any sport played on foot, using a ball. The term soccer derives from "Asocciation football", possibly via the FA, or FIFA, and is used in countries where a form of football existed before soccer was made "the world game".
Wow - thanks Doc - yer sure on the ball!

You mean that golf is football.Is it futbol if you ride around in one of those silly little carts? Meself, I allus thought that the origin of the word, "golf" was that it was "flog" backwards.
