Totally agree and already call it that but with a funny sounding fuutbal and everyone knows whats being referred-to.

And in "soccer" no one "socs" the ball with their hands - its a serious penalty for all but the tenders. Ha!

Just for clarification, the word "soccer" is derived from the term "association football" and thus has nothing to do with socking anything.

And in real football as played with the feet, the player is called a goalkeeper.
