In 1572 was soccer called football?

Answer 1

Its 1872 and yes Soccer was called Football in Europe and soccer the real Football because they use their feet and Australian or American Football should be called Handball or Handegg because they use more hands for handpasses and throws and it doesnt involved kicking except Australian football

Answer 2

The term "soccer" was coined in 1871 upon the foundation of the Rugby Football Union, an offshoot rule set originating from a disagreement during the codification of the

London Rules(now known as IFAB's

Laws of the Game) that govern Association football, in order to differentiate the different versions of football. The word itself was derived from the third through the fifth letters of "Association" ("soc") and used in a diminutive manner, much like those who call it "Football" might shorten the name to "footy".

Although "soccer" is not technically the proper name for the sport, it is more correct than "football". Soccer is a reference to a specific rule set, while "football" is actually a type of game, but is commonly used to refer to the type of football most common to them.
