If it had said "football" it would have been an entirely different sport and I'd have had to spend a shitload of money for all the equipment necessary to play it.
But if I'm talking to people from EU, UK, etc, I'll refer to it as football. I don't see why the need for any hangups about it. Who cares?
I do know I'm very much looking forward to the FIFA world cup. Not sure which country I'll be rooting for this go-round, but I'm pretty sure Canada won't be in it. lol

I agree with CDSmith 100%
I don't care what you call the game I know as Football. If you call it soccer I'm not offended.
So if we call "the boot" of a car just that, I don't care that you call it "the trunk". I don't need you to change anything about it, period. I accept the fact that you take our language to make it your own. It's evolutionary, so whatever. I got over that a long time ago. People here will fight over anything, and say just about anything to justify that fight. It's pretty sad.
As long as you respect that it's the worlds most popular sport, and that the vast majority of the world call it Football then we're good. Diss on that and you can GFY.
Thanks for listening.
