Can we get to the part where you specify first what we are supposed to call that little island? Then let's all try a little foosball.

Football / Handegg

It's called Soccer only in countries that never won a World Cup.

We had a few interesting comments in here about the word soccer (thank you Katzenschinken, that made my day), but I also have to comment on the numbers. A world champion match would only attract 2 chess players but still have at least 22 football players in it. :D

I'm assuming you're still in primary and haven't learnt geography, but FYI "this little island" is Britain. England is one of the countries of Britain, not the island as you seem to think (,incorrectly of course).

Everyone here: Football was invented in BRITAIN, so it's called what we call it!
