lol, there is no such thing as 'soccer', outside of the USA, football is football, although i have to admit that football i.e. 'soccer' players are pansies, hugging and rolling about the ground together after the score a goal, falling over in agony at the slightest touch, pure pansies! rugby is a game for men, kind of like American football, without all that pansy protection that the Americans wear!

It has all the qualities of a sport except for the physical aspects. It is a mind sport. Whether this matters or not is a separate question.

The term soccer came from the English actually, though it is no longer used there.

To differentiate from Rugby Football, it was a shortening of Association Rules Football. Assoc. --> soccer.

It's a lifestyle choice. The arguments for it being a sport are the same as those for darts. ie it's not one.

Once I saw the question of whether poker was a sport. I think the same rule applies to chess. If you can get a massage or eat while doing it, it isn't a sport. 🙂

I like the massage part...but cyclists eat while racing for example.

An ATHLETIC sport it is not. It's more of an intellectual sport if anything.
