To distinguish it from gridiron football. The origins of American football are linked to rugby, also called football, where the hands are also used more often than the feet in terms of controlling possession of a game ball.
According to the etymology dictionary, "soccer" was slang from the late 19th Century as an abbreviation for "assoc." as in Football Association (as they could hardly have taken the first three letters!).

Webe feel special cause wen u use ur hands its football but ur feet r soccer lol :)i dont know if youve heard but we have another sport called footballBecause football is a completely different game there. You call it Gridiron.Soccer is a British word, used more in Wales than England.

I don't know why we don't call soccer football, but you should really check out our version of football. The players in our game actually get hit and fall to the ground, no flopping necessary#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
