Although it is now widely known as Football, many people argue that only the original English words should be used. If you support that, it means that you think color should be colour and things similar to that, and I will gladly agree with that if it will stop someone from spazming on their keyboards and calling it a coherent argument.Speaking of which, are you alright?

PLEase ignore my previous comment, I am trying to change that.

Majority of the world calls this sport football, because you move the ball around with your foot. It doesn't really matter what you call it because the sport is enjoyed every where in the world.

Ahmed you wrong because you don't have any pieces of evidence to support your claim and you don't have any sources to support what your saying. So I disagree with what your statement is.

Well, in fact, I don't hear soccer or football. When I play the audio clip, I hear Chicken Benchball. Is that weird? That is my argument towards this scrumptious debate.

Nowadays, in the 21 century, the word "football" is said more often. For example, close to all parts of South America calls the sports "football". Also, most of Africa, Europe, and even Greenland, in North America call the sport "football". This shows that more than half of the world calls this sport "football", instead of "soccer".

200 years ago it was named football by the british but in Australia people call it soccer but its football.

When the sport was first played, it was played by upper class Brits, and they called it 'soccer'. The name 'football' only started being used, about 18 years later, when the lower classes started playing it. They didn't want to call it the same name as the wealthy, so they came up with the name 'football'.

So although, Football is used more commonly worldwide, the word 'soccer' actually came first.

Now that we are in the 21st century, we have strived away from setting too many "classes" in the world. An example is that some of the most famous football teams Such as FCB use the word Football in their name. A lot of these teams are in the high social class. Even though the players of these teams are much more famous, they still call this sport football and not soccer. I also say that what you are saying is false, because the word soccer was used for the upper classes more than 100 years ago.

It has become part of the US culture to call the sport 'Soccer' rather than 'Football'. You would be changing an entires countries current way of thinking.

All but around 15 countries around the world call it football, so by changing the word to soccer many, more people would be having to change the way they say the sport.

The word "soccer" is a British invention that British people stopped using around 30 years ago. Also the words "soccer" come from the term "association football" that was invented around 200 years ago. So the right term to use is Soccer not football

It is called soccer because football is a wider and broader word. The sports origin is soccer, but then through history, Americans began to refer to the sport as football.

The reason it is called soccer is because Americans wanted to separate it from American football not by tradition.
