Epoca de Futbol

Spring time means that it's soccer season here in North Carolina. Which makes me wonder...why in the world is it called "soccer"? I mean, what does that word mean? It's called "football" (or futbol in Spanish) everywhere else in the world, so why not call it that? We can differentiate it between "North American football" - that sport that's played using some weird oblong ball and by hitting your opponents as hard as possible - by using exactly those words.


It's been a long time since the boys played futbol and they're really enjoying it. Gotta love a healthy activity...
