why is 'football' called 'soccer'?\n\nThe word "soccer" actually comes from England, where the modern version of the game originated.\n\nIn England, there were two types of football: rugby football and association football. The slang term for rugby football was "rugger," and the slang for association football was "assoc." The word "assoc" gradually evolved into "soccer," which was much easier to say.\n\nWhen association football was introduced to North America, gridiron football (the type played by the NFL and in the Super Bowl) was already well established. To avoid confusion, Americans adopted the British nickname "soccer" for the new sport.

Federation Internationale de Football Association\n\nInternational Federation of Association Football\n\nAssociation Football is the old, old name for football -- and soccer, from "asSOCiation".  FIFA is the international federation of soccer (or football).\n\nFIFA organizes the World Cup tournament and awards the World Cup trophy, so both forms of the tournament name are correct.\n\nAnd don't be afraid of soccer players getting mad at you.  Most of them are wusses, or they'd be playing hockey.

Soccer is an Amarican word. It was presumably invented because the Americans invented their own football which is a totally different game.

Football is the term use in England, Soccer is the term use in Stated.  Both are the same sport, unless you are talking about 'American Football'.

I think soccer should have been named "football" as well, because MOST of the game is played with the foot.  Why not call what we call soccer "football" and what we call football (american football) soccer? It avoids calling the game "handball" like has been previously mentioned, especially because you use more than just your hands in american football. \n\nAs to WHY we don't call it football, I don't know, but it would be more logical.  Too late now...

Football.  We invented it (the UK) and named it, all before America was even discovered, and it's an English word.  So defo football, only americans and australians call it soccer (wrongly).\n\nAmerican football they use their hands as do AFL players so its hardly football

Soccer far and away.  Soccer is played and followed heavily in most of the world outside the US.  American football is heavily followed in North America and mostly a novelty in the rest of the world, which is far more populous.
