The proper name is actually "association football".

The Fédération internationale de football association (French for 'International Association Football Federation';[3] abbreviated as FIFA and pronounced in English as /ˈfiːfə/ FEE-fə) is the international governing body of association football, beach soccer, and futsal.

I was a referee in my teen years here in the US.

"Soccer" is actually a slang name that the US adopted from England because we already have "football", sometimes called "gridiron football" in order to distinguish it for "football" used elsewhere in the world.

You're quite right fren, I'm talking crap.

FOOTBALL was born in England and I support one of the oldest clubs in the country (Aston Villa). It will always be 'football' to me, I don't care what anyone else calls it.

Also called American Football, also played in Japan. There is also the Canadian variant which includes a wider and longer field.

I hear ya. It's just that here in America we don't call it "American Football" or "North American Football". We just call it football. I occasionally hear them calling it "gridiron football" on TV though in NFL broadcasts.
