    They call it soccer from the "american" term of "Socking a ball" I.E. Kicking a ball with your foot.

    EDIT: Change Football to soccer (in bold) ...oops

    I concur, they do use "socking" as a term for kicking.

    We invented the word soccer. Back when it was first invented it was known as football association, which became 'asoccer' (like rugby became rugger) and eventually 'soccer'. We don't have anybody to blame but ourselves
