Football = NFL style play
Soccer = What those other countries do chasing and kicking the ball to each other.
There is no term “American Soccer” so by default it is best to use football to mean the oblong pigskin, and soccer to mean that round black and white ball kids use around the world.
Also, sirvoddmort, America does have a language of it’s own. It’s called Spanish. But before Spanish hit the mainstream, EVERY language was borne of stock that predated the language anyone speaks now.
Thank heaven, the Americans do not speak the “Kings English”, to a large degree.
Ironically, sirvoddmort, America still is heavy on ounces and pounds, etc., while kingly influenced countries have moved to metric.
