It’s called Soccer? It’s called Football? David Beckham and YouTube streamers have their say in the debate
It’s called soccer. This is a phrase that was recently chanted in the Al Bayt Stadium last night during the USA vs England, FIFA World Cup 2022 match. Here, the USA fans are referring to the sport of soccer, which is more commonly known as football in other parts of the world.
There are many others who believe that soccer is the correct term for the sport. They argue that football is a generic term that can be applied to many sports, such as American football, rugby, and Australian rules football. Soccer is a more specific term that refers to the game played with a round ball on a large field.
