People in America generally call our version of football soccer as they have American football. Only the Amercans call it soccer..... Why they can't call it by the name the whole world uses defies reason.
Consider FIFA or UEFA for example. If the Amercan's were right, then these governing bodies would be called FISA and UESA!!!
