Football is correct. It was invented in Britain as was the English language, and it is called football. Soccer is an American slang term, because they made their own game called football before "soccer" became popular there.
I know Paul-M, I was just being a smart-a**. I knew it would rile the emotions of someone on this forum from one of the countries where it is incorrectly (just joking ) called football.
