Football is not called Soccer in most the world.

Rugby is called Rugby. If its Rugby Union or League.

Losers!

Football is the name given to a number of different, but related, team sports, although the first sport with this name originated in the United Kingdom. The most popular of these world-wide is association football (also known as soccer). The English word "football" is also applied to American football, Australian rules football, Canadian football, Gaelic football, rugby football (rugby league and rugby union), and related games. Each of these codes (specific sets of rules) is to a greater or lesser extent referred to as "football" and sometimes "footy".

The word "football", when used in reference to a specific game can mean any one of those described above. Because of this, much friendly controversy has occurred over the term football, primarily because it is used in different ways in different parts of the English-speaking world. Most often, the word "football" is used to refer to the code of football that is considered dominant within a particular region. So, effectively, what the word "football" means usually depends on where one says it.

Find me an English person who calls Rugby football or "Soccer" football and I will give you a tenner.

Right up.

Football (as in soccer) isn't actually just football. Football is a bunch of sports and it's not the right name for soccer or American football. So soccer is a more accurate name for the sport you're thinking of.

[ac1983fan]

most languages in europe call soccer football...

 

[JJH]

OH NOES!

This is quite confusing. My translations:

Soccer (Best sport eva!)- Kick the black and white ball into the net

Football-Pass the oddly shaped ball around, don't get tackled, and run into the endzones.

Correct?
