In the light of the recent name change, Frodo's post and the seemingly obvious name that the board should have, I propose the following poll:

"The World Game" is by far the best IMO.
Isnt "Soccer" taken from some English FA name or something, as (historically) a reference to English Football?
Surely there is more to this board than England.
Yes, that was duly noted.Originally posted by SeinDude
It looks as if the board name will remain as is.

Soccer is indeed an abbreviation from Association Football, being the Football Association (the "FA") that ran and runs Soccer in England, as opposed to (say) Rugby Football, which was run by the Rugby Football Union (the "RFU"), which ran and runs what is now called Rugby Union.
My paternal grandfather, a Welshman, would always called Rugby Union "Football", much to my fury, since, even as a small child, I could tell that they used their hands in Union and only put their foot to the ball as a last resort, usually to kick it out of play.
However, paradoxically, no one in England would call Football "Soccer" apart from people who loathed the game (ie feral, rugby-playing Welshmen), whereas it has become the universal name for the game which Sir Les refers to as "The World Game".
Ironic, ain't it, Suzi?
