Football English

The English word for football is: football or soccer.

For Americans, football is called soccer. But for most countries in the world, football is football (Spanish: fütbol；; German: Fuball；; French: football; ; Portuguese: futebol).

However, what most people don't know is that the word "football" was not invented by Americans. On the contrary, the word came from England to America. Moreover, the British called football soccer many years ago.

Steven Chimansky, a professor of sports economics at the University of Michigan, wrote in a paper published in 20 14: "Football originated in England in the late 19 century. At that time, football did not have a set of unified national rules. Football is a variant in the development of football, or a football game with specific rules. "
