Coming to Italy?
I think you meant to say that it was a spiffing penalty…
‘Soccer’ was the original British term used for the sport, it was used for about 20 years before football was.
Nice story but not true The modern game traces its origins to 1863 when the Laws of the Game were originally codified in England by the football association.
The word “soccer” originated as an Oxford “-er” slang abbreviation of “association”, and is credited to late nineteenth century English footballer, Charles Wreford-Brown.
The name football is heard many many years before this as well.
Edit - so only the toffs called it soccer and they don’t usually understand the game
