So is Beckham coming to play Soccer or football? or is soccer football where he is from?
Soccer is "football" in Britain, except in Ireland, where "football" is more like rugby, and soccer is "that girly game."
Or so I've heard.
Soccer is called football everywhere in the world except the United States. I've never understood why we call our sport football since the only time the ball ever touches a foot is on kickoff and extra point kicks. Should be called 'throwball'! ;o)
