...and the United States is out.  Well, better luck next time in 2018 in Russia.  At least we have the women's team to look forward to next year in Canada.

I agree.  Also someone updated the Wikipedia article on the U.S. Secretary of Defense yesterday.

However, Wikipedia admins locked and switched it back to Chuck Hagel.

Yes.

The term soccer is a shortened form of assoccer, which is itself a shortened form of association football. The abbreviations came from the English schoolboy tradition of taking the name of something (say rugby), chopping off all but the first few syllables and appending "-er" or "-ers"; hence "rugby" became "ruggers" and "association football" became "assoccer" or, eventually, "soccer". The term is used in just about every English-speaking country that isn't England in order to distinguish the sport from other forms of football like the two rugby codes, the two gridiron codes, or Australian Rules.

(As for those being called football even though the ball is typically being carried in the arms or hands, the term comes from the need to distinguish such sports, which were played on foot, from those like polo played on horseback.)

Well I just learned a lot today.

I still feel the need to call it American Football, though.  Instead of just Football.

Players and fans of the world's other six* football codes thank you.

*Yes, I know I only mentioned five other than soccer above; there's also Gaelic football.

Also, I forgot to note that the term "soccer" predates the term "football" (unmodified) as referring to the sport by about a decade.

A clever artist in Japan did up all the World Cup teams as anime girls.
