It's football not soccer Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/its-football-not-soccer.html Online petition signatures en-us Sat, 25 Apr 2026 01:54 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Ms Zanzy S [Signature #59] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8034175?utm_medium=rss The reason why Americans use the word soccer is because they associate the word football with american football (almost rugby). Australia does not call rugby american football so why not call it what it is meant to be. Besides, its called football because the ball is kicked with your foot. It just makes more sense to use the word football.
For me, the word football is attached to passion, beer, screaming crowds, fun and a whole lot of memories.... the word soccer does not have the same effect.

It is known as football in every country in the world, except USA, Canada, Australia and NZ. They call it 'soccer'. They are wrong.

I've no problem with countries having their own heritage, their own 'sports'.

But this great sport is known as Football.

Put your foot down. When speaking to a Yank, or an Aussie, don't refer to it as soccer for their benefit.

Never thought anyone was concerned but this is absolutely correct. That is why it is known and governed by FIFA! We are simply allowing the USA to change the dictionary on everything to suit themselves only. They are too arrogant to change their ways, thinking the rest of us should bow down to the court of KING USA. The rest of the world is older, more experienced and deserves respect, which the Yanks do not understand.
