What is called football by the majority of the remainder of the world, including UK English speakers, is known as soccer or European football in the USA and Canada. What is called football in North America is known as American football somewhere else. Befuddled? Allow us to clarify. 

Despite the fact that more than 90% of the planet called the game played by 22 players with a ground ball on a rectangular contribute football some shape or structure contingent upon their local language, the game's complete name is Association football.
