The word football is coming not only from the sports invented in the UK, but also from sports family, mainly football football and football association. If you have seen these movements, you will notice that they have some similarities, but they are very different. To discuss it, let's say that the Rugby Football and Football Association are brothers, their names are football and associations, and their last name is football.
Rugby football is known for its name rugby. No problem. It is still football. "Lenovo" is not a word itself, it is a sports itself, so association football is a tricky name. So "Lenovo" became "Lenovo". Then this became "football". Football is the nickname of the Football Association.
In the United States alone, the word "football" is used to distinguish sports, it is a name comparable to American football and unfairly criticized from American football. The roots of American football are football association and football football. It's still in the family of football, so the name is not wrong. Another misunderstanding is that the word "football" is an American invention. This nickname was first used in the UK, but it became obsolete later as the rugby football is called football and the football club is called football later.
The formal official name of sports is still association football. Football is a nickname and rarely used outside the United States. It's not a bad thing, but football (or Fútbol, Futebol, or any other type of word) is the world's most popular name in this sport.
In other parts of the world, the word football is used with football, but in the United States the word football league became the mainstream word football. The reason is that it is necessary to distinguish it from other forms of football in American football. The word football is still popular all over the world, but it is a modern football term, but its use in the UK sharply declined in the 1980s. Stefan Szymanski of the University of Michigan pointed out in his paper "Football rather than football" as follows. "Since 1980, the use of the word" football "in British publications has declined. Background Although this reduction seems to correspond to an increase in usage in the United States, this seems to be related to the highest point of NASL (North American Football League) around 1980.
Everyone! The official name of the game is "Football Association". This is abbreviated to the abbreviation of the word "association" of "football" or "soccer". I frequently use the term "soccer" to distinguish other codes often referred to as "football", such as Australia Football, Rugby League, Rugby League. However, most FIFA related countries call this competition "football", even our sports management company has renamed its name from the Australian Football Association to the Australian Football Federation. Regardless of which name you can not deny the worldwide popularity of The Beautiful Game.
In England, the terms football and football have the same meaning, but in the United States football and football are two different games. Many football are like rugby, players are wearing armor to protect themselves from harm. In the football game, the team kicked the ball and did not wear any armor.
