Soccer or football?
Nowadays, every country besides Australia, Canada, the United States, and Ireland, call the game football. So it is frequently expected that “soccer” is an Americanism, but the word is completely British in the cause.
By shortening "Association Football" to just "Assoc." and adding –er, the term "soccer" was born in England by 1895 and became popular in the U.S. (to differentiate the game from American football).
By the 1980s, "soccer" fell out of use in the U.K, in favor of "football."
Many languages adapted the word "football" to fit their pronunciation and rules – for example, it became futebol in Portuguese. Other languages broke the word apart, into foot and ball, and translated them separate, or did this with the words for "kick" and "ball" instead And then there's Italian, which uses a different word entirely: calcio! – from the verb calciare (to kick). You might hear football in Italy as well.
Whatever you call it, focus on enjoying the game!
