Princess, sorry to nit pick, but I think you mean "Hispanic countries". The only Spanish countries are Spain and its handful of territories. - Gekkosan, Sep 30, 2010
...and of course, there's *no* such thing as "Soccer" :-p :-) - Gekkosan, Sep 30, 2010
Soccer is an English word for the sport. And no, it's not only used in the US. Soccer is a nickname shortened from "Association Football." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_association_football - benweck, Oct 1, 2010

Does anyone know where the word "soccer" came from? The name of this sport is simply: "fútbol o balompié"
¿De dónde salió la palabra "soccer" para llamar a este bello deporte?

It is only called soccer in the united States and Canada. Our football is a different game than soccer/futbol. - Brynleigh, Oct 1, 2010
