Wasn't the name "soccer" originally from England?

Edit: it was, and it was used for ~100 years in England until around 1960 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_association_football

Yeah but only poshos call it "soccer" here to distinguish it from "rugger"

who the hell calls rugby "rugger"? that's even worse than "soccer".

Public schoolboys (i.e. the very posh), yes it's weird
