In the United States, which sport is known as "soccer"?

The question isn't well written, because in the United states soccer is soccer and football is a different sport for Americans.

I think the Americans shorten "American Football " to "football". Hence calling football "soccer" to avoid confusion. Those countries that can actually play football call it "football". lol

It is known as soccer in the US. Period.

I played goalie on 5 aside

Here in New Zealand, soccer is soccer, rugby union is rugby, rugby league is called league and American/Canadian football is often referred to as gridiron.

I started playing soccer in 1970 in Manhattan Beach, CA, and had coaches from England, Brazil, Ecuador, Scotland, Argentina and Italy. I came to know it as Fùtbol, the Spanish name for the sport.

HAL 9000, no we don't. soccer is soccer. period

hugh jass, soccer is called soccer

David, yes I agree with you, football is a totally different ball game in America, it's none of your chasing a ball around, and kicking it into a net. oh no it's more of a contact sport is it not, with the players bouncing off of one another! Don't ask me how they even score in American football either

Easy peezy

Here it's called football I get confused what's soccer and what is football
