Why do North Americans call Fottball Soccer- It’s so irritating!!!!

Oops made a typo in the thread title. Before you mention it.

Because we choose to call our more feminine version of Rugby, 'football'.

It's because it has less letters in it. You know how it goes.

Because you play with a soccer ball not a football?

Maybe the same reason they call the baseball World Series when only one country takes part. LOL

Divide and conquer tactics. Look for a bigger picture. All televised sports are rigged and fake anyway so does it really matter?

Are you daft? Because we have a more popular game thats already called football. Its to avoid confusing the two. Did you really have to be told?

Football reminds me of that gay sport NFL. That's why soccer ⚽ is better.

If it's any consolation, football in america is now just as flaming ghey as soccer so call it whatever the frack you want. Real americans are busy now out hunting or buying guns.

It was actually considered a womens sport by north americans. Since they used their feet they called is sock-her. Some woke people changed it to soccer to avoid an international conflict.

Good answer. However think of your own name for Sports you invented rather than stealing our games name then changing it to suit you. Name thieves! Then to rub salt in to wound change our games name. Plus you hardly kick the ball in AF so why steal our games name. Very very strange.

Rounders! lol

Time to smoke a super bowl! lol

Smoke a Super Bowl. I would rather vape it.

Yeah well, you Brits call the trunk a boot.

What's that all aboot. Get it.

The real answer is that the name soccer actually came from England.

It’s the cockney name of “Association Football.”

So essentially, the UK called it soccer for a while too… Americans and Australians inherited the game calling it soccer… then the Brits and everyone else just got all high-horsed and went back to calling it football, and a few generations later and now y’all play dumb because you forgot that’s why.

That’s the real answer.

We call it soccer because that’s what the Brits called it.

American football should never of had the name football.

Soccer is football, as its mostly played with the feet.

Usa calls it soccer, as they use the word footie or football for there american football, that has mostly hands on the ball. A version of rugby.

People should be glad usa does not care too much about soccer, and leave them to there own games.

Soccer is the only game that should be called football. Soccer is vastly played with feet, and american football is mostly played with hands.

I agree op, but its american, to not do what others do, like uk always has its own version of things too.

You're an ignorant Brit and don't even know the history of the sport.

Because "kiddie chase the ball game" is too long.

Aussie rules has the oldest professional football club in the world. We own football. Soccer here is also called wogball.

Name thief still you are. (Yoda Voice)

It's FUTBOL, get a brian ya moran!!

Op, unless you are a complete retard, you know we have our own "football".


Well?

I lived in South Korea for five years.

There it is "chukka" -- from our "soccer".


Good luck trying to force the whole world to use your word.

No. You stole the name of our game for your game played with hands. That’s retarded. You yanks lol

How do you steal a game?

LOL


Still pissed you couldn't beat us this year, huh?

The football match revolves around the specialized place kicker & punter. Also the trick play here is most fundamental. Each down starts with the ball on the ground. Fumble recoverery is the most powerful play. The evolution of keep-away to include full contact is hardly illogical. Being downed is the return to the grounded state of the ball. Concentrating action into downs gives the offence moments of reason to engage, just as the pitcher has a pitch. Defense still dominated, and the forward pass invented out of necessity.

KSU 14 TCU 10 HALFTIME. UH.
