  Let me interject for a moment

  what you’re referring to as football is in fact soccer/football, or as i have recently been calling it, soccer + football

    Football is literally just whatever game is the most popular locally that involves scoring by foot.

      Except america, where you mostly score by hand.

        Mostly isn’t really involved, it’s just what you can do and honestly when gridiron was invented most plays were laterals and scoring was by foot. It was essentially rugby with different rules.

  To most of the world football is what is refered to as soccer. Rugby and american football are their own seperate thing as far as I am concerned

    As far as you’re concerned just not the people who made the sport or the leagues that govern them.
