Since the word "Soccer" is an English invention (short for "Association Football"), it would be odd if they never used it.
Well, I can tell you you'd spend years in pubs before hearing an Englishman call it soccer.
Just be glad they can't use their guns across chess.com then we'd be in real trouble.

Be nice to the English. At one time they ruled half the world. Now all they've got left is football and 'proper' English.
Canada is just France's bad side, and America is England's bad side. Its a marriage made in heaven. Don't cha love it when all the relatives visit!!
