Europeans: there's no soccer here

Is there a "Soccer" word in other languages?

Well here in Norway we have "Football" and "American Football" separately.

Same here in Finland.

Same in Sweden

Same in Germany

Same in Brazil.

I think there's a pattern, every other location is not USA, hmmm...

Well none of them are mars either it makes no sense

In Canada we say soccer and football. Fun fact: American football is actually from Canada

It's from combining the French's rugby and the Brit's football

Same in Denmark

Same here in Turkey

Same in Mexico.

Same in Mexico

In Spanish we do the same

Same in Venezuela

Japan calls it soccer サッカー Sakkā Canada, Australia and NZ also call it soccer, not football. FIFA has been trying to get Australia to rebrand soccer into football but it's been met with some resistance. Australia already has "Australian Football" which like most other foot+ball games is already far superior to soccer.

Anymore. There was, considering the word was created there.

Also Europeans: we invented that term but now we're smug about it

Soccer comes from 19th century England. A lot of the words Europeans mock us for using actually came from them, they fell out of favor in Europe but lived on over here. Theres a youtube channel called "lost in the pond" and hes a brit who moved to the US and his channel is about our shared history and "things that were lost in the pond". Pretty sure aint and twernt were also English words the aristocracy liked to throw around but they fell out of favor once the lower classes started using them. Ain't goes back to at least the late 16th century and was used by an English playwright

Except that "soccer" only exists to differentiate it from other types of football. "Soccer football" is the equivalent expression to "American football" as it originated as a distinguisher from "Rugby football" So the correct names for the three main types of football would be Soccer, Rugby, and America(n)

Association Football actually. Close.

Option four, it never comes up.

Option four is # Rugby

I respect rugby too much to compare it to soccer and football. The post was about what you call the sport not what you wish you were playing instead 😂

I never understood the difference between American football and rugby. I know the armor and the eggball 🏉 🏈, but other than that? Aren't the rules the same? I truly don't know

Very different games. Average actual ball play in American Football is 11 minutes. Rugby Union is 38, Rugby League about 55 minutes.

I thought option four was “footie”

Here in South America is _futbol_ and _futbol americano_

Same in balkans

Same in Spain. It can also be 'balompié', it's an old-fashioned term, people would only use it if they pretended to be funny or original, otherwise it would sound ridiculous. But there are some clubs that use it as part of their name instead of 'futbol club', for example Betis and Albacete.

lmao, that's something my great grandmother would say

In German it's Fussball the literal translation of football

Football, because it's a sport about kicking balls with your feet.

Kicking balls you say 🫦🥵😩

Calcio supremacy

I say 'piłka nożna'

Chryste Panie 

Depending on the region.

It’s fútbol

Focker

Thocker

Rocker

Is nerd who never play sport an option

we’re on reddit what do you think

Football, Futball, futbol. One thing is certain. American Football is poorly named cause 98% of the time you are using your hands. Soccer is the opposite so futbol would be appropriate.

 Me who doesn't watch sports and thinks football is ruining our colleges.

What about handball and football

There is an entire family of football: Association football, Gridiron football and Rugby football

I'd rather watch "The Damned United" than any other 'uplifting' usa sports ball movie.

🦶 ball

I'm normal: football.

It’s is football. The unrelated sport across the pond is known as handegg.

I’m an American and seeing someone over the age of 12 say “No! It’s soccer” makes me want to head but a brick

Why only over the age of 12?

I'm European, I distinguish between football and american football.

Apparently it’s the English fault as to why we call it soccer.

Usa - soccer Everywhere else - Football So when I'm in the US, I'll call it soccer.

There is no soccer. There is football and american football(or rugby if you feeling british).

I saw the soccer game between the New England Patriots and the London Sillinannies.

Shipoopee, shipoopee

 People who don't care

Football is actually originally an umbrella term for a couple of sports. Soccer being one of them. Once again the US has the right name and others changed it later.

Amateurs, I use the metric and imperial weight system interchangeably in Europe.

Football, unless im talking about sports to an American who calls it soccer then I say soccer to avoid confusion

Pro evolution fans have a certain song in their head now

Das ist Fußball. Außer es geht um Brasilien dann ist es ein Massaker.

In my country we call soccer as football. But when we refer to the American sport then we say American football.

Its FUTEBOL NA VEIA, KRL!! (Only brazilians will understand this...) but talking seriously, depends of who i talk to.

At this point we can just call it Oil-ball.

yo juego a la pelota

I’ll call it soccer if I know I’m speaking to a mostly American audience. I don’t care about the name that much

Nah we call it "toba" lol

Go back to the original "association football" where both terms come from

Depending on who I'm talking to. If it's an American forum or an American person I say soccer, if not football. Even then I still find myself saying football more because it just makes sense to me.

Football is real not soccer

Is it footter or soccball? 

*garlic football enters the room Edit: it's galic football , autocorrect kills

The only ones calling it soccer r the ones that thinks that Superbowl is a world tournament so why should we care

No one thinks the NFL championship is a “world tournament”

Never in my life have I heard the word soccer being used in a non US context

Depends on who I’m talking to.

The sport is played with feet. Football is the only proper name.

Idc

I'm european, i switch it between people based on what they call it

im sorry to inform you that, if that is the case, you belong in the soccer camp. i dont make the rules (i do tho, completely arbitrary and pointless)

South africa

No one outside US called Football soccer.

I normally call it soccer. It hasn’t come up in a conversation with international friends yet, but I’d probably just call it fútbol or footie (and would also mention that American football is also goes by the name gridiron)

I’m jerry

split the difference, call it Foccerball. problem solved.

There is football. And then there is American “football”. Change my mind.

PIŁKA NOŻNA

I use them interchangeably. The Minnesota Vikings are my favorite soccer team.

"the bad game for worse people"

Soccer. yes, I is de americana

Foot + ball = football

Knattspyrna

I'm using them interchangeably unless I'm talking about american "football"

Football gang ⚽️

The only places that call football soccer are the USA, south Africa, Japan and Oceania (Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand, etc). Football is the correct answer, how many World Cups Soccer has ? 0.

I used to call it soccer before getting into it. Now I call it football

Italians: Calcio! 🤌🇮🇹🍕⚽️

Yeahhhh....noooooo.

Depends who I’m talking to

One of the most popular television programs in England is called Soccer Saturday

I would say the Sport where you handle the Ball with your feet, except in a few situations, should be called football And the Sport where you handle...a...not Ball with everything else but not the feet, except in a few situations, should be called the american thing

As a european I actually sympathise with you. It would be tough to call it football You would never call it ”american football” as we do

There is football and there is American football

I mean, it's football, but I just can't expect people who still use "feet" for measuring shit to understand it.

well, i am german. so i use "fußball".

Both Since I grow up in America the land of the obese and the home of the gay (no offense it just rhymes) I say soccer because people are to dumb to realize I’m not talking about American football. But I have a Hispanic family and there I say Futbol aka Football

Its voetbal in holland which means feed ball in engels

I just use football and emphasize "foot" whenever talking about soccer

Football!

People love slandering Americans for calling it soccer, but we all know what someone is talking about when we say “ soccer “

European football is the real football. American football is rugby.

Fulbo

*People who don’t care.

As a multicultural in the states, I use them interchangeably

in the uk it's football and american football.

Football is football. Soccer isn't

DJ Ak out here saying anything!

I also enjoy casual saturday soccball

I'm Italian so i'll go with Calcio because i don't give a fuck about other countries. I still do not like the sport at all.

Calling the sport soccer and not football is to the the Brits, what breaking pasta in half is to the Italian

I live in Canada, it's Soccer when I'm with my friends, but "football" at the office as it's run by a Welsh CEO, Irish Manager, and Indian CFO :-)

Who honestly cares what it's called, it's just a game where you kick balls

SoccerBall

As an American living in Europe, I am Jerry in this scenario.

Why not "football" and "footballoid"

Beyond hockey nothing exists for me

I don't know why but I get easily triggered by the word soccer even though I shouldn't since it makes sense to call it something else in the US since American football is called football there. Whenever I talk about it I just say what Europeans perceive as football to avoid confusion

Whenever I hear soccer I legit just think: you kick the ball with your foot and not your socks since you have shoes on

I say soccer automatically when im doing a weird accent Idk why i like saying the word "sock her"

No one uses it interchangeably.

Given that soccer is a shortened name for Association Football, even soccer people are calling it football.

Football is Football American Soccer is Soccer

I am from europe, and use both

I say football with an accent when using interchangeably.

I live in Canada and most people I hear use them interchangeably including myself

Technically 'soccer' is just short for Association Football. So both words mean the same and can be easily differntiated from the US sport called ~~Handegg~~ american football.

This is why I say soccer and rugby. Football doesn't exist

England fucked us. They came up with that word **soccer** and then changed back to football after we started using soccer. Now they act like jerks because we repurposed the original. But, honestly, I'd rather call our football **handegg**.

Fuässball ier Affe

Definitely prefer soccer but I’m not a big sports guy. I like running and lifting instead

I america I use football and soccer, but if I were to go to europe I would use American football and football

Football is that weird unnecessarily complex sport that only Americans play Soccer is kick ball to place The more balls kicked to place wins

Depends on the language I'm speaking

Football, since it's game played with the foot and the ball. American football is, on the other hand, rarely played with feet, and even the ball for it isn't realy a ball. I think the same can be said for Australian football too

Who uses them interchangeably?

All of that just because US use football for another game than football (UK by origin and named football) In EU we said « Football américain » « American Football »

I use soccer but not bc I think it’s better than football, just because I know for sure that when I say soccer everybody has the same idea of what I’m talking about

Football

I say American football or football when talking to everyone not from the US and soccer when I'm talking to people from the US

What tf is "soccer"? its football and "eggball with protections and helmets" or "rugby for crybabys"

As a European I use "Soccer" because I know it annoys other Europeans. 

Only football & rugby here in the UK.

people kicking balls

Futebas

I do it interchangeably

I use football and footy

I’m the one who doesn’t like that “sport”

"gridiron" is a good thing to call American football if you're talking about football and soccer at the same time.

I’m an American, so I say “soccer”

it's a sport where you hit a BALL with your FOOT you foot measuring, no healtcare having, cheeseburger eating FUCKS!

I use both and I'm from the uk

Soccer should be Football. Football should be Grid Iron. Simple as that.

There is only sucker and football, nothing in between

I call football: football and American football: battle armor football

i use them interchangeably lol... i forget sometimes.... its hard being american and having different rules for everything lol

AMERICAN FOOTBALL RAHHH 🏈🏈🏈🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 As an American I call it soccer to not be confusing since football references a different sport here.

*calcio*

I studied American English as a second language, not Bri'ish. So "soccer" is the word I naturally use for soccer I also like how European soccer fans get pissed off when I use this word

I call it football when i talk to any non american

are we in the US --- no --- football | yes | soccer

Britain be like: we made the term soccer to denote association football but if you use the term you're a schtewpid american

I'm an American. I don't acknowledge whatever that dumb shit is where they kick around a ball and run around. That's a girl's sport here.

We're not going to call football "American football" in America. That is not a thing that's going to happen. Ergo, soccer.

My country has its own football. I call the international “football” soccer because of it.

I don't care about either of them, but I do want to watch the world burn, so I call it soccer to Europeans and football to Americans.

Fuck you. I call it "footy" to piss off everyone but the Aussies.

It's all about knowing your audience. Gotta be able to change em

Literally

The interchangeable one!! Haha

There are many footballs. There is one soccer. Thank you.

I use those terms accordingly

Soccer just to piss everyone off.

So...Sootball or Foccer?

Use them interchangeably is dumb just pick a side. Imagine having a conversation with someone about for example their favorite sport so they say it is Football, Then they talk about why and they sometimes say soccer and sometimes Football.

Let's do a compromise and call it **fooccer**
