Found a new website that explains the origins of the word “Soccer” for any of you speaking English outside the US.

There are some other great articles on Today I Found Out:

Uncle Same and Chef Boyarde were real guys
Each article even cites sources. Looks like “I read it on the internet” is carrying more weight every day.
