Mrs.F in WI, The answer is in the name...Foot Ball. Not throw it the majority of the game, and kick it occasionally.

That looks like Simon Francis of Bournemouth being sent of v Arsenal last season or the season before. This season he was sent off v Wolves

Player #19927140, Nope, your partially right. In Ireland, they are separated into "football" and "gaelic football". There's no confusion there.

After playing soccer for many years I joined a softball league. Playing shortstop, it took me a while to break an old habit. I kept stopping hits with my foot or leg. Ouch!

Not really penalty cards either as they can be awarded anywhere on the field whereas a penalty can only be awarded in the penalty area. Terminology a weak link in questions played in other countries.

Would do all of us a favor if you would label things "football/soccer" or "American Football". At least the picture provided a clue.
