    In north america, soccer is different from football. People likes football better somehow

    But an american football ball looks more like a football than a soccer ball...though in soccer you use your foot to kick the ball so is that more deserving of the name football? I'd say yes...but America says no...and America's always right. B)

    Oh well... about the last point is better to not discuss :D

    Anyway, we have a different word for the soccer/football game, but always related to foot... its translation in fact is "kick". I think "football" would be the most proper name for soccer u.u"
    Oh, anyway US football here is called rugby... you aren't the only one who change names :p

    Soccer! The guys are WAYYY hot ;)

    However, I prefer to play football because it's a great way to get my frustrations out.

    Fooball!
    American football is weird, you don't even touch the ball with feet, but rather with hands.

    It's because Soccer, in Europe and practically everywhere else in the world, is called "Football".
