All that matters is football is right and soccer is wrong.

and football came first, since soccer is the abbreviation of 'association football'.
Hope this helps.

The British coined both terms. Does it really matter what you call the sport? Let's just enjoy it.

Football. The sport is football. The term "soccer" is slang for "Assosciation Football"

Soccer was the most used term up to 1975 apparently.

The only country who call it soccer and should be allowed to is South Africa because they don't speak English.

I think it most likely football because how the term is used in other "similar" sports. Just think about it that you have American football, Association football, Australian Rules football, Canadian football, Gaelic football, etc.

Football came first, back centuries ago. Soccer is a recent thing and as far as I know, they only use it because of the fact that they have their own version of football over there.

Who cares? It's honestly pretty annoying and stuck up when a Brit tries to correct me when I say soccer instead of football or cleats instead of boots.

But Milan Jovanovic is one of the greatest soccer players in the world.

It's called soccer in Canada and America, we don't really have a choice in that.
Proper name / original name is football though.
