Because Americans are stupid enough to name a sport played with your hands "football." =P

^I can unfortunately relate...>.>

The whole world calls it football,And it is THE most popular sport in the whole world...

Way to go,Americans,keep calling other societies "Backward".

That's why in most other countries, our football is known as 'american football'. We're so stubborn, we get our name in a sport. Don't we feel so special? :D

In my country we call it Football...

Although football makes more sense

I don't know where people got Soccer from. I wonder what the Tainos called their game first anyway now that I think about it.

LOL XD

It also has those moves and those uniforms.

There's Football and American Football.

wellll in my country we do call it football not soccer cuz football is its real name btw
