Soccer sounds like "sock 'em" (you know like rock 'em sock 'em robots) which implicates fighting, it stands to reason then that the contact sport which encourages physical tackling should have the fighting-sounding name. Beast played football in high-school, but I bet he would kick ass in fussball, he'd just grab the ball with his feet and run on his hands to the goal, I'm pretty sure that's legal, right?
Soccer's a term out o' England that was short for "Association Football". At some point we/they stopped using it and started making fun of those who do.

(not sure if you were legitimate with your ramble or just being jovial)
