Not true. Soccer men like Giles, Dunphy, Brady etc all call it soccer regularly.

They are football men that may occasionally call it soccer. What did i say that wasn't true?.

1) that some will call it soccer on here to save any confusion
2) that soccer is a nickname for the sport
3) Those that doesn't have any interest in the sport calls it nothing but soccer

"Football".

Also, those that are interested in soccer, call it nothing but soccer too.

The game is called "Football" i didn't anything wrong there. Yes plenty that have interest in the sport call it soccer also but even those calling it soccer the majority of them still know the true name of the sport is called football.

Association football

Thats the full name yes. Soccer is a nickname.

So is "football" then.

Looks like we deemed to be in the "soccer" camp along with most anglophone countries...



Tho I call it football in America.... just to be different. I call it by its correct name in Ireland.... "the foreign sport" 

What I find kinda weird is Spanish speakers in America will swtich language mid conversation and call it futbol in one sentence and soccer the next.

I wonder did most Irish fans replace the word football with soccer when singing 'Put 'Em Under Pressure'.

[Zulu]

Indeed, I wonder did most Irish fans replace the word óle in the song with hurrah or up ya boy ya?

Meanwhile back at the ranch...Stefan i reckon will be back at the tail end of the league to get ready for the Championship, Lurgan Celtic will be well relegated by that stage.

I remember an English TV slagging a yank over the whole Fooball soccer thing until he reminded the Idiots their programme was call Soccer AM. summed it up for me
the English call it soccer unless they are talking to a americans and then their  imperilialistic nature kicks in
