After FIFA gave Trump the Peace Prize participation trophy, he announced that he thought we should call soccer football, and the NFL should think of something else.
In before he suggests Trumpball. You know it’s coming.
I know you are just being difficult for no reason, so i am probably wasting my time typing this, but please remember that britain came up with the name soccer to reduce the confusion between rugby football and assosiation football, but for some reason it didn’t stick in its country of origin. Association football IS also called soccer, and britain came up with both names. Football is a generic term that refers to any variation of rugby such as soccer, american football, gridiron football, as well as a couple others.
Yes, you are wasting your time with that but not for the reasons you think.
“Britain” didn’t come up with the name “soccer.” You’re anthropomorphising a chunk of land.
A small number of very posh students from Oxford University gave it that, as a nickname. Just for reference, these are the people who also call rugby “rugga.”
Basically, an American heard it and confused it with the actual name of the sport and was stupid enough to convince you all to call it that.
There’s someone in Britain right now who calls it punty kick chase. I can assure you that name is wrong too and you would look silly if you tried to justify you also calling it that by saying “Britain came up with punty kick chase.”
"The whole world calls it football. Are we so out of touch?
This is soccer?
I have a feeling the average international soccer fan doesn’t take too kindly to queer ideals.
Football.

No, it’s the rest of the world who are wrong."
It’s football. Now you know.
