I know. Also of all the countries in the American continent, only 2 call it "soccer", so either you think that the US and Canada are the whole west or you think that Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay etc speak English and use soccer.

This is getting fairly off-topic, anyway. Two things.

Kangi, you are outstanding for a new user, welcome! ^_^

Also, every english teacher I had always says soccer, so that is what I learned.


I'm well aware of it. Anyway, just to close this discussion, the reason english teachers in the American continent call it soccer is because they're under the influence of the US and can't rationalize by themselves.
