American "Football" is more like a game of Stratego, than like what we calll a "sport".

I guess growing up, Football is with the pigskin.  Soccer is with the round ball.   In Spanish Football is Futbol de Americano- American Football.    Whenever I spell soccer in Spanish I will use Futbol.   {edit}

No. You kick one of these balls for the entire length of a match in one of these games.

Soccer. The soccer ball is kicked a lot, so football.

And will be until your country understands what "football" is, and that it involves "feet".
