    Its the ultimate question. It has divided families, destroyed friendships and separated lovers. But the day of reckoning is at hand. Its time to decide once and for all which of these terms is the real name for our Sport.

    Gentlemen (& Beth), please cast your votes!

    Do you mean "Soccer" as in the name shsrtened by the English for Association football?
    OR
    Do you mean "Football" as in the name shortened by the English for Association Football ?

    But by your own logic, the sport is football and is association football when played in organised leagues?

    So, through scientific method, we can deduce that the actual sport name is football, by all accounts?
