In some parts of the world its called S O C C E R.
I get angry every time I see someone say its not this crazy word 'soccer'.

What part of the world? the US?
Football is mainly a European sport and if Europe calls is Football, then soccer is a wrong term.

yeah, US and Canada.
I believe soccer is normally viewed as a world sport and not a european sport.(most widely played sport in the world and such)
Since the article was probably written in the US(I'm just guessing), then 'soccer' is the correct term.
ooooh, and it turns out the term 'soccer' came from England.
