Answer 1

Soccer = Football

Aussie Rules = Football

American Football = Football

Rugby = Football (but its stupid)

Answer 2

you answered your own question, you said is "soccer" footy. you called it soccer,m therefore it isnt footy :D

footy is the red oval shaped ball XD

Answer 3

Soccer, or Association Football, is the original football game so it has the naming rights!

Answer 4

Don't know.

But soccer is only played with the feet apart grom the goalie.

I think soccer is football but if it was then i don't think that AFL should be called football.

So it's sorta 50/50

Answer 5

disagree.

They are the same and it's just depend on your country using the term.

Answer 6

Disagree.

Soccer players use their feet more than any of the other football codes.   If there's one code where calling it football is stupid is gridiron.  I mean how often in a game do they kick it?

Answer 7

It's football

Answer 8

Agree! I hate the fact they call most sports football. In my opinion football is rugby and Aussie Rules but not soccer.

Answer 9

Very true.  Two completely different things.

Answer 10

Well, you do kick the ball with your foot, as opposed to football where you only kick it at certain times, the rest of the times you are throwing it, or holding it. Soccer can be football.

Answer 14

Soccer is football, you only use your hands in soccer. in rugby and AFL you use your hands as well. thats still football. so yea i think soccer is football.

Answer 15

Soccer is the real football much as it pains me to say it.We have rugby league & union & Australian Rules.

Answer 16

Answer 17

You can score a goal with your head in soccer.

You can't handball a goal in Australian Rules.

You must score a goal with your foot.

Answer 18

Lame question.

People call it the appropriate name for them.

Answer 19

Soccer IS football, mainly in Europe and parts of Asia.

In Australia football is Aussie Rules

In America football is NFL.

Answer 20

i disagree

but it really depends on where you are in the world and who you are talking to

Answer 21

It depends on whether you're European or American.  Different people use words differently; that's hardly startling.

Answer 22

Disagree - soccer is actually just played with the foot and a ball so it is in fact correct to call it football.

I'm happy to share the term 'football' with AFL :P

Answer 23

Football is played with an OVAL ball.

American football, Australian Rules Football, rugby league and rugby union are played with an OVAL ball.

Soccer is played with a ROUND ball.

One more time for all you soccer people who did not understand the above statements,

Football is played with an OVAL ball.

Soccer is played with a ROUND ball.

Answer 24

As per first posting, it depends if your european or american, in europe they call it football, in america and australia they call it soccer.

Soccer/Football is the only game  where the ball is kicked with the foot through out the game, the only person who can handle the ball is the goalkeeper within the penalty area.

So I disagree.
