I mean in the 1930s Orwell was writing about massive public interest in the Football Pools in the Road to Wigan Pier, and if I have my numbers right that's before the 1970s.
i think it was common to hear both terms used in the UK up until the 1970s, when "soccer" dropped out of the popular lexicon entirely because of NASL and american football

i've also heard that "soccer" was more popular among middle and upper classes so who the gently caress knows, i don't live in that pedo den
