Soccer words in the US and the rest of the world
Americans use different words (sometimes borrowed from other sports) to describe the game we call soccer and most others call football. Unfortunately, we already have another game called football, so there’s really nothing we can do. The table below includes the words most Americans will use when talking about the sport. However, I recommend that you use the UK vocabulary, even when talking to Americans. Since soccer has only recently become a major sport in the US, any Americans who care about it are likely to follow English Premier League teams and will have no problem understanding the UK terms.
