About this episode

The episode discusses the origins of the word 'soccer' and its historical context between Britain and America.

Yep. "Soccer" is a British word. Oxford students coined it in the 1800s. Britain used it for over 100 years. Then America kept it, Britain dropped it, and somehow it became America's fault. That's not history. That's gaslighting with a cup of tea. ☕ Cheers! #soccer #footballvsoccer #soccerfacts #britishhistory #didyouknow #funfacts #sportshistory #wordorigins #etymology #aysm #aysmpodcast #AreYouShittingMe #shorts #youtubeshorts
