do you call it football or soccer

[Botchy]

as i am from the uk i call it football and nothing else its Portsmouth football club not Portsmouth soccer club.

FIFA who make the big decisions all over the world, it is called fifa because it stands for Fédération Internationale de Football Association. that is the name and long live football.

thats what i think what about you guys why call it football or soccer

[nick]

Yep, and there's UEFA too - Union of European Football Associations

Its most definitely football. Simple question, what game gets played at the football world cup? Obvious answer, football.

[Marcie]

I'm from the USA, and nearly everybody here calls it Soccer, that's what I've done my entire life.

[Perseus]

Soccer because I'm American. Hooah. Stay Frosty.

[Malcolm Tucker]

I call it soccer, for the simple reason that "football" for me is and always has been Gaelic Football.

[Qualifier]

No doubt about it, football.

[SimplyTom]

[LNM1335]

I've always called it soccer because, to me, football is American football, a.k.a. the NFL.

[turtle7]

[JackOfClubs]

When I'm with any friends I call it soccer because when I say football they think I might actually like American football. When I'm around relatives I call it football. Because it requires use of your foot.

I know the proper name is soccer (association football) but to me it is football (you use your foot for the WHOLE game, not just for those penalties or whatever you Americans have after you get a TD. I support Crystal Palace, an English team based in South London, right near where I live.

Yeah admin is not as bad as I thought. We only lost Victor Moses, Simon Jordan isn't in charge any more, there are people interested in buying in the club and we found out that Neil Warnock is a greedy coward. Happy days :).

[INFERNO]

Despite being and growing up mostly in North America, I call it football because it's always seemed like a more fitting name than soccer. I the NFL stuff American football. I'll use the name soccer when others get confused but I prefer football, makes more sense to me.

[gogo]

[Sage]

Soccer when I'm in North America. Football if I happen to be anywhere else in the world.

Football, why do Americans call it football anyway you kick it about twice in the game, more like British Bull dogs to me.

[JDB_95]

FOOTBALL, followed football for most of my life and supported a once good and now not so good football team.
You go to remember the FA ( football association) and the FA cup

[anthonysayhi]

[Jamie]

Being from The United States... I call it soccer. Though when I do refer to it as football, I pronunciate it as others do 'fútbol'.

[Alec75]

History lesson for the day.

American footbal is a different form of rugby, which is a form of British Soccer.
Soccer comes from "assoc" which was a shortened form of something for something in Britain a couple of hundred years ago. I don't feel like getting my textbook out to look.
