It's soccer. 

And any  Irish person  correcting someone for calling it  soccer needs  to have a word with   themselves

[Ash Smoker]

Soccer, all day long. I've come across few Dublin soccer heads who get upset when you don't call it football though.
In England they've turned against the word in recent years because they now think it's an Americanism.

Most football/soccer supporters I know couldn't give a fcuk if it's called either of those. I'd say both of those words.

I remember English commentators in the 1980s talking about soccer and nobody batted an eyelid.

When editing Wikipedia I once got admonished for trying to refer to "soccer" in an article. I was told "people in Northern Ireland don't say soccer, and it's an offensive term to those who follow the sport." I corrected him and told him that people who move in GAA circles use the term when it's not clear which football code is being talked about. His response included the line "... and as you admit, the term is not used in Northern Ireland except by GAA people." Which in his mind was the same as nobody using it.

Association football. Soccer mostly a pet name and used not to be confused with GAA football or American football

Soccer. Always soccer

Winds me up something serious hearing Footballers say how much they love playing 'Gaelic', at least refer to it as Gaelic Football. Definitely depends on where you are, seen my own club call it Gaelic on social media, show some respect to your own games

Growing up in south Donegal we played gaelic and football.

The word soccer never spoken. Hurling simply wasn't a factor.

Think I was 15 the first time I saw a real life hurley. A lad at school was belting a sliotar about, but didn't see one after that until I went to college.

That said, these days I'd use soccer for the most part as I live in the US.

I make a point of saying American football though.

Can't get my head around rugby followers calling rugby "football" .  Eg "Ringrose is a great footballer".

American Football same thing, barely 10 kicks in a game.

SOCCER.

The Americans have their own football, as do the Aussie, as do we. The English have theirs. We don't call American football, football. Or Aussie rules football 'football'.
