also people assume soccer is only used in America when it isn't? Aussie and Ireland use soccer bcuz football means two different sports in each place

Interestingly, football isn't called football because you use your feet to control the ball. It's because you were on feet not horses

The UK is the only English speaking country that calls soccer "football”. Australia, Canada, Ireland, NZ and South Africa say "soccer".

it's always so weird to me that people say the British don't use "soccer" when we literally have a show called Soccer AM!!

Also it’s not only used in the US. Most other big anglophone nations use soccer instead of football.

Another fun fact is that it’s called “football“ because you play the game on foot, it has nothing to do with the fact that you kick the ball

The Oxford story is a common myth but it is this myth that caused the mass rejection of soccer as a term in the UK

Soccer was widely used in Britain in the 1970s and 80s. For some reason it dropped out of fashion after that and a reverse snobbery took hold about it

In NZ in my experience, people use soccer casually and then we all get yelled at by people who play soccer and follow the premier league 😂
