    The British invented Football in 1863, full name Association football, the term football is the formal name while soccer is its nickname that was created by the English inorder to distinguish it from rugby football. Soccer became a shortened reference to the word assocation football. Therefore, Football's nickname soccer is often used to refer to football in countries where another form of football exist...example: America = (american football) Australia = (australian football) Although...Australia have now referred back to the formal name Football having replaced soccer with Football in its official title 4 years ago.
