Football is what those johnny foreigners across the Channel call 'Association Football' because they are ignorant and don't play other football games.

Rugby Union Football (Union) and Rugby League Football (Rugby League) were differentiated from Association Football (shortened to Soccer) by being named as in the brackets.

My Godfather (Harry Sharratt) played Soccer for England in the 1956 Olympic Games, he didn't go and play football. In fact he turned down a teaching post at Leeds Grammar School because they only played Football, not Soccer.

Now dum dums we know the Education has gone down the drain and you need 3 'A' levels to not be able to parse a sentence, but why do you insist on calling Soccer by the name used inaccurately by overseas people who don't know better.

Thank God for the U.S. of A. where in between turning up late for wars and then strafing their allies at least they use the correct term for kicking an imitation pigs bladder around.

Serious answers only for this most serious of questions.
 
The best teams in the world call it Football eg Football Club Barcelona, Manchester United Football Club ;) so gtfo you Yank piece of shit.
 
I like tat it is called different things in different places. More then one person can be right.
How about everyone has to call it whatever the World Cup winner calls it.Then England fans will never have to worry about it again.
 
It all started in 1863 in England, when two football association (association football and rugby football) split off on their different course. Therefore, the first Football Association was founded in England. (known as the FA then and today) Hence its called football and always has been.
 
if this is a serious question i think ill take the uneducated masses instead of a pompous oaf like yourself. no wonder you lot are dying out.
 
I don't, I call soccer, soccer and football, football, so on so forth.
 
Oh Irony.

That will be lost on 'Soccer' fans

They will take the question seriously. But I have wondered that, it was always Soccer when I was a kid but seemed to lose favour when we started playing foreign teams.

So foreign name.

Imitation pigs bladder will upset most footie supporters.

No sense of humour, or brains.
