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?
The sport is called soccer in the United States to distinguish it from American football, which is played with an oval-shaped ball. The term "soccer" originated as a nickname for association football, which was shortened from "association" to "soc" and then "soccer".
