    Soccer was coined by the British, btw. It’s your fault we call it that.

    Football is a sport played all over the world. American Football is only played in the USA and Canada.

    Sorry, Americans, but you lost this battle ages ago. Just let it go.

      American football is gaining popularity in Europe and South America at a pretty healthy clip. Enough so that the NFL is now sending teams to play games in those places. They are even starting to consider expanding a couple of teams to Europe in the future. And there are more and more international players starting to get a foothold in the NFL as players.

      You might have won a battle, but you could lose still lose the war…

        There is a lot of interest among Europeans to watch American football, but there isn’t really anyone playing it here. I think it’s because American football has more complicated rules than rugby 😂

            Lol at American football. What a joke. America just trying to be the center of attention everywhere, pushing their shitty head concussions on people they don’t even want in their country. As an “American”, America sucks big donkey dick. So does American footy ball

      Run it by me again… You carry the ball in your hands and run forwards? You occasionally throw it, again using your hands?

      What do you call it?

      Football.

    Pretty sure there is more than one foot involved. Therefore it should be called feetball.

      That’s why football is called football. There’s only one kicker. One foot.

        See? Here we go.

        Soccer - Uses both feet. Should be called feetball.

        NFL - Only uses one foot to touch the ball. During punts or feildgoals. Accurately named football.

    Most of the world calls it football because feet and ball. American football is usually referred to as commercials or ads.

      It seems so stupid to me that Americans took over the name football for a sport thats not even mainly played by foot, and then pretend like thats the sport that naturally belongs to the name. Like wtf.

      Given the original meaning of football is a ball game played on foot rather than on horseback, yes, they are all football.

      Brits use the word because they weren’t competent enough at Ōllamaliztli, so they had to invent a lesser sport with no ritual sacrifice.

    Reference to it with proximity to yanks :

    You are the only non yank there : Soccer
    There are 60% yanks : Association football
    There are 30% or less yanks : football
    There are 0% yanks, and 100% Brits that actually like this boring sport : Footy
