Football Vs Soccer

[Nomad]

This is a classic debate. Why do Americans call soccer when the entire world calls football, and why do American use hands when the game clearly says football? Football in America is a hybrid of European football and rugby. What do you think made this distinction?

It's because there's American football. It'd be confusing calling two sports the same name. I'm Canadian, and I also call European football, soccer.
