That's not soccer - it's a form of football. Soccer is a corruption of 
Association Football - the rules originally drawn up in Britain. That's nothing 
like it. You may as well  call murkin football American Soccer - it'd make as 
much sense. Pig ignorant journalism.
There are some all-in football events still played in the UK - one village 
against another. The 'ball' is a bundle of rags, the goals something like the 
duckpond in one village and the millpond in t'other. First goal wins it, 200 a 
side at least (everyone who wants to join in) and broken bones are usual.
