Greetings alexander!   
      
    DH>> Actually, I meant that I don't know why it's "soccer" in North   
    DH>> America and "football" everywhere (?) else!   
      
    ak> I know that in Croatia people don't use the word "football". Instead   
    ak> they call it "nogomet" - it sounds probably like "footthrowing" in   
    ak> English. I believe that in this way they fight against foreign words.   
      
   They should then use a word that would translate as 'foot-kicking' - since   
   the players do more of that than 'throwing' the ball with their feet.   
      
   Better yet, make goal attempts using their heads the only way to score and   
   call the game 'head-kicking'...   
      
      
       Have a day!
