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".
