Well they don't now. But back when Victorian Britain was the cultural leader of the English speaking world they did so we did. And now we are stuck with it. Blame the Empire.

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Soccer is the right way to name the sport.
