There are other countries that are also called sports like football. Like England has Soccer as like AFL to us so they call it football. Americans have their football and they call it football.

Answer 2

Its very debatable I guess.

I personally think Soccer should be called football worldwide as the majority of play is with the foot.

Answer 3

Football is football.

AFL is AFL.

End of story.

Answer 4

The point is that football is played with an oval ball, gridiron, footy, league and union.

Soccer is played with a round ball, but so is Gaelic Football.

Soccer is soccer, it can't be football because of the above.

Answer 5

No

Most people call it exactly what it should be called

Soccer still has the right to be called football. However with the amount of kicking in both rugby codes and grid iron I really don't see how they can be called football
