Surely the name football was applied to our game because field goals and extra points are kicked,and that major movement is by running on feet, as opposed to on hourse as in polo. Yes, I still claim the name football for our sport, at least in our country, where socker is a jonny come lately game. Just to complicate matters, we have Rugby Football here in Britain as well. Stick to SOCCER for international discussion, everyone knows what we mean then!
