Why is football called soccer in the USA?

Because football was orignally called soccer and we decided to change it to football

Exactly!! 😊

Cause Americans are Willies

Oh thanks >:(

@kiely beltran I'm joking lol :P

Okay :P

Us Aussies say soccer too, ya know.

soccer is not called 'football' its called 'futbol' which is not the same thing.

Cause to Americans football is rugby and soccer is football

because we're cool like that

Because they used to play in their socks hens forth soccer

@Abby Fregozo THANK YOU. I hate when people call it like our football and not their futbol.

You know, that's a little mean to Americans.

but also ignorance retardation

because American decide to change good names and think it makes them extremely cool

rugby and football are completely different... USA

I live in the USA and we don't call it that

Same in Australia

Soccer was created in the 18th century way before American football

Wow this is stupid i live in America and they call that football not soccer

Futbol is how u say in Spanish for soccer

They call soccer football in England too

we changed it because we wanted to be the opposite of everything we were. That's why we drive on different sides of the street too.

We don't call football soccer we never have

Because Americans are STUPID

We don't call football soccer we never have

Because Americans are STUPID
