    Football as it is now, was invented by the English, on the fields of Eton. But there is a much older version, where you could kick the ball through a hoop, or pick it up and throw it through a hoop. This game was invented and played by the Aztec Indians.As for the games name, I believe I am right in saying that the USA are the only country to call it "soccer" but I am open to correction.

    It is definitely called soccer in Canada as well, and according to Wikipedia it is also called soccer in Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland.

    Most countries call it football, we're pretty much the only country that calls it soccer.

    Because our football isn't soccer; really, it isn't even really FOOTball either. They use their hands as much as or more than their feet.
