Word Association explanation
Posted by Clive Hoggs on January 07, 2002
Why has the meaning of Word Association got the word Football on the end of it?
The game is called 'Word Association' isn't it, I have never heard football being connected to it.
The explanation tells us:
Association football is the proper name of soccer (and the origin of the word incidentally), although anyone outside the USA will tell you that the proper name of soccer is football.
Why would anyone English need this explained to them? If it's there for the benefit of US citizens who might choose to read a website intended for UK citizens, that is there problem derived from the fact that they choose to live in a cocoon called the USA, and ignore what happens outside of it.
