Difference about Football and Soccer - Question #2
First of all, I would like to thank to those who answer my first question what is the difference between football and soccer. However, another question raised on my mind. Some are saying that in their country football = rugby while others football = soccer. What is the original name of football? Is it soccer or rugby? or is it vice versa, is the original name of soccer is football? Is the original name of rugby is football? Why are changes were made? Why is it that football has different meaning in different country?

Hello, In my country Football is not a common sport. In fact, I have heard that it is known as football an American sport different that the well known Soccer for Americans and Football for the rest of the world. Here is very common the soccer or football and in spanish is translated as "Fútbol" as you noticed "Fútbol" is similar to Football, and our pronunciation is almost the same. Here Rugby is translated as "Balon mano" but is different than the American Football. So there are three different sports. "Fútbol", "Balon mano", "Fútbol Americano" or "Soccer" , "Rugby" and "Football" but in my country the most popular is "El Fútbol".
