I wouldn't say 99%, but yeah. I know for sure Japan also calls it soccer, likely because of the US; I think Canadians and Australians have too? It's mostly to distinguish it from national sports they call football, which is poorly named but doesn't have a good alternative aside from saying "American Football" or "Australian Rules Football" (both of which are really more like rugby).

I tend to just call it based on who I'm talking to and the context, so I avoid confusing them. I never call it soccer with my German or Spanish speaking friends, though, who are much more into futbol than American Football.

Or I just use emoji. Lol ⚽
