O que significa what's the origin of the word "soccer"
In my country and I think all around the world people say "football". Don't you think that "football" makes more sense than "soccer"? ?

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason

It comes down to the sports history. Football originated from Rugby. They had to distinguish both. So in Britan they called Football Soccer, and Rugby Football simply rugby. America took Soccer as the name so they could distinguish it from American Football (American Rugby Football).
edit, I also don't agree with the term soccer.
