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

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.

The name football is a lot more common here so we call it that, but there are times where we still call it soccer.

 

[Sanjeev]

I call it football and not soccer, and it hardly matters if it's called soccer or anything because even if the name is changed, the rules and the things remain the same. I think in most of the countries they call it soccer.

Actually anyone you call it, was correct but football tends to be most popular name but usa, Canada, Australia tends to call it soccer

 

[Kingpin]

Football is the most popular game in the world. It does not matter what you call it and what's matter is its popularity in different countries

 

[James]

We call it football in my place and not soccer. There are people who are immigrants who call it soccer, but the majority always call it football.

 

[Sara]

Soccer is for the big boys and educated personnel. Someone like me who don't put too much meaning in things like that call it football and in my neighborhood, we use football in general.

Soccer is an Americanism, isn't it? Designed to differentiate between that sport where an oval shaped ball is typically thrown using hands opposed to the other game where a round ball is usually kicked using a foot.

 

[MamaFrankie]

Football. Anything that involves throwing rather than kicking a ball is not football.

 

[Cpvr]

I call it soccer since I live in the United States and we call the NFL football.

 

[Shortie's iconShortie]

Being from England, we have always called it football and it makes more sense being the game of football is kicking a ball with your foot, only the goalkeeper and the player with the throw-in can use their hands.

 

[Bawse]

I call it soccer, and I refer to the NFL as football. It makes it less confusing.

 

[gwolf666]

It depends on what we are talking about, since football or soccer is the one that is played with the ball and the legs and is also very different, on the other hand, American football is the one that is played with all the equipment so as not to get hurt and it is extremely different how it is played, but I don't understand why they are both called "football"

As far as I'm concerned, the real name is football and not soccer. I know that it has to do with how United States of America see it by calling a soccer but the whole world knows that football is the real name of what we are talking about when it comes to the sports.

Football is even sweeter when pronounce than soccer. Not everybody have the shaped and voice to call soccer and it will be sweeter.

 

[Heatman]

Yes of course, it matters to me what I call it and it can never be soccer. USA isn't even a good football country which is why I'm stuck with the real name of it which is FOOTBALL!!

You are right. There are people who would want to call it football, and there are others that would want to call it soccer. I think the environment matters too when you place it in certain perspectives.

Yeah, it depends on the environment. My environment doesn't care about football or soccer. We always go for things that will be sweeter in our mouth, it's not about speaking grammar.

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.
