    Why can't people just be allowed to call it soccer? I call it soccer if I am talking to stupid people or Americans, so as not to confuse them. If they're trying to get soccer to kick off (ha ha) in Australia surely they don't want to get people's backs up by correcting them every time they call it soccer.

    so it's football, american football, and then rugby for brits.

    For merkins, it's just soccer, football and rugby.
