From wikipedia
"The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as a slang abbreviation of the word "association", often credited to former England captain Charles Wreford-Brown. Today the sport is generally known simply as football in countries where it is the most popular football code." Here is the link
Personally, from an American point of view, I think football is more entertaining- but that would be disputed by folks in other countries. Fan base? Soccer by a mile-- no dispute there, that's a fact.
hah, your pic real makes laugh, that's so cute and funny! why american call hand egg football, we dont know, maybe they need football to run carry an egg-ball so it is football.....
