Do you call it soccer or football? Do you care which name is used?

I don't have any problem with calling it either football or soccer. For as long as the person I'm talking to it about understands the sports I'm talking about, it's all that I care about. But I call it football most of the time.

Understanding is the first in assimilating sentences. If the person doesn't understand soccer, they can understand football that's all.

I have always called it only football. I don't know what soccer is. Ever since I was a kid, we called it football in the neighbourhood and that's all I know it to be. Football over soccer all the time.

I call it Football as well, but when I talk with my friends from other countries such as the US, I tend to call it soccer.

I call it football, and that is what most of the people in my area call it as well. I have not been around people who prefer calling it soccer, though.

I call it football and I think it is called soccer only in North America (the US and Canada). I think they ended up using that name because they already had a game called football, which does not actually look like football. LOL

I am not sure why they have a different name for the same thing and I guess its only US population that call it Soccer and everyone other calls it Football.

I've never called it soccer in my life because that's not what I've known it to be all of my years as a kid and now as an adult too. It have always been football.
