Mama says foosball is the devil!
It's either Football or the local equivalent to "Foot" and "Ball".
The sport with the egg is "American Football". And you US citizens can call our football "European Football" and not *Soccer".
Wasn't the name "soccer" originally from England?
Edit: it was, and it was used for ~100 years in England until around 1960 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_association_football
Yeah but only poshos call it "soccer" here to distinguish it from "rugger"
who the hell calls rugby "rugger"? that's even worse than "soccer".
Public schoolboys (i.e. the very posh), yes it's weird
