Makes sense, but I've seen lots of pics of missiles launched from decks of ships as well. Bit hard to tell how big the missile in the picture is, seems smaller than the ones subs launch though. Impressive video nevertheless

I think football is a more apt name for soccer for obvious reasons.

The Yanks use "soccer" like we do because the term "football" is used for their gridiron football over there. Just as we have commandeered it for our Rugby Union/League and AFL. All these games should really be called handball not football...

The shop owner's name starts with an "S"

wasn't it originally called Soccer?

Plaguerised from Wikipedia: The rules of football were codified in England by the Football Association in 1863 and the name association football was coined to distinguish the game from the Football played at the time, specifically Rugby football. The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as an Oxford "-er" abbreviation of the word "association"

Just goes to show the world has gone MAD!

Too much talk.
