It isn't 'Soccer World Cup', it is FIFA World Cup. Notice that there is no S in FIFA. :-) Why? Because the US is weird. Who over there decided to name a game that mostly is played by hands 'Football'? Knowing that in other parts of the world there already is such a game where the name is more appropriate? Other proof that the US is weird: calling a room where in 90% of the time is no bath, a 'bathroom'. :-)
