It was indeed... It's generally only the Americans that call it soccer (shudder). The rest of the world calls it Football or The Beautiful Game. :)

Imagine that....us Americans trying to be different from the rest of the world. Who would have thought such? :p

I'm not complaining, as I like living here in the US. But it's strange that we have always steered the opposite direction of other nations on most things. I mean, we are almost the only place that doesn't use the Metric System. No sense behind it I tell ya. :)

Heh heh...You're right...

As an American living here in Spain for the past two years it's pretty interesting to see the differences and try to make sense of it all
