Actually, "soccer" is the term for a particular set of rules for playing
ball games with your feet. "Football" is ball games with your feet. So,
like, technically "hacky-sack" is football, but not soccer.
Granted, calling what americans do "football" is a stretch, if not downright
wrong. But there's more to football than just soccer, just like there's more
to poker than five-card hold'em and there's more to billiards than just pool.
