First of all, I'm American so we call it soccer. WHAT THE HELL DOES SOCCER SUPOSSED TO BE?!?! All the other sports have names that make sense. Expect for football (American). You barely use you feet in NFL Football. The real name for soccer FOOTBALL makes sense because you use your FOOT to control a BALL. I'm done raging. |

In American football, there was once a time when throwing a forward pass was illegal. So you ran the football using your FEET, or kicked the ball through the uprights with you FEET. Hence the name. When the forward pass was legal, they never changed the name. We made Association Football "soccer" in the states is so we didn't have to ask "Which football?" EVERY TIME. Like Cap said, if we know you are from the UK, we can understand what you mean by football.

| If someone on the forums said "What's your favorite football team?" a bunch of people would go on the thread saying "Cowboys! Eagles! Bills! Patriots!" and then it would get confusing. |

| Football used to be a mostly running sport. That's why it's called football. |
