What i used to call "soccer" I now call "football." There is no other kind of football. The name change makes sense anyway. "FOOTball!"

And now there no confusion when I talk to anyone outside of the USA about the sport. Otherwise, it all devolves into conversation about Marxists and Anarchy.

Just to let you know, the British invented the word soccer. It was short for Association Football, to distinguish the game from Rugby Football, Gaelic Football, Australian Rules Football, etc. Around he same time Marx began doing his thing.
