The two games are far too different to make a comparison, there being two units in American football (one offense one defense). However, the fullback in soccer is the last defender usually other than the goalie so you could say its equivalent would be a safety or defensive back.

What is the difference between US football and England's soccer?

first of all its US soccer and English football second, they are exactly the sameAnswer"US football" and "England's Soccer" are different codes for two forms of football with common origins. In the USA football generally refers to Gridiron also known as American Football. In England football generally refers to Association Football also known as Soccer. The word Soccer started is a phonetic abbreviation of Association Football coined by Oxford University student Charles Wreford-Brown in 1888 who took the 'soc' from 'Association' and put an 'er' on the end. The practice of putting 'er' on the end of words was common amongst nineteenth century Oxford University students. Typically 'an Oxford University student who played Association football and Rugby football' would be described as "an Oxforder who plays Soccer and Rugger". Association Football along with Rugby Football originated in England. American football is based on Rugby Football which incorporates elements of Association football augmented with ideas that originate in the USA in particular the forward pass. All these forms of football can be traced back to ball games played at Shrovetide in medieval Europe. The English called their version "fote-ball" meaning 'ball game played on foot' where one of the few rules prohibited the use of transport. Other rules prohibited playing games in church yards and murdering the opposition. This fote-ball game is the ancestor of all modern codes of football and is still played in some isolated areas of England.
