I used to think this too, but I learned that "soccer" is a slang British term for "association football" or "assoccer". Kinda cool

It was initially introduced to colonies as "soccer", so it's no wonder it stuck in some places.

Anyway, call it what you want. I use both depending on what social circle I'm talking to.
