Soccer word was derived from “assocciation football” in the 1880′s. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_association_football

There is another reason why Americans don’t like soccer: The game lasts 90 minutes and over 70% of this time passes without any action. It is boring to watch some tired, sweaty men just wandering around the field doing nothing for minutes or the worse: rolling over the ground and faking a weep like little babies. Americans like action and drama (real drama) in sports like in everywhere else, it is a mere cultural thing and nothing to blame for, soccer is just not their game and never it will be.

Soccer kelimesinin hangi kelimeden türediğini hiç düşünmemiştim. Gayet mantıklı geldi bana.
Gerçekten de çok güzel tespitler.

Bir de hentbol neden hiç yok Amerika’da onu merak ediyorum.
