User Image Its rather overly-patriotic to assume the world revolves around America. Maybe I'm just reading your post strangely. =/ Football comes in the form of Soccer and American Grid Iron. Worldwide its more acceptable that it refers to Soccer, so numbers would say Soccer is the correct term. That isn't to say America has to stop playing Grid-iron. For the record your brand of football isn't only played in America, I know Australia has somewhat similar NRL, AFL and Rugby Union. Personally I prefer the Soccer to either of them but if I had the choice I'd say I find Grid Iron the most boring.
