Just so you guys know, Koichoco was pre-empted these past two weeks so that Japan could watch themselves get the Silver Medal in Football (that’s soccer to you ‘murikkans who think that handegg is football…). Anyhoo, TBS will be broadcasting Ep
isodes 5 and 6 of Koichoco back to back on 16 Aug (Japan time), so we’ll actually have to work twice as much for getting to slack off (even more than we already do). So… Watch warmly while it loads. ^__^

Etymology time!
“Football” used to refer to games played on foot, as opposed to horseback. The game we know as football/soccer is “association football”.
In some areas, since football was a generic term, one who participated in the sport was an “association’er” which became “Assoc.(er)” which became “soccer”. Other people simply used the last word of “football” as the main descriptor.
TL;DR – Both “football” and “soccer” originate from the same term.
Back on topic now, thanks for the update on Koichoco. Looking forward to the new episodes in a week or so! Keep up the great work!
