Slang for football - can mean many different sports depending where said -

Australia - AFL (Australian Rules) or Rugby Leauge/Union NRL

U.S.A - American Football/Gridiron

Europe, South America - They call it football, we call it soccer.

Asia, Anywhere else - I dunno wtf it means

What Europeans should call there football, so they stop complaining on what we call there soccer. Honestly, the word soccer was used by EUROPEANS before Americans used it!

And no, we don't call football footy
Soccer - Footy

American Football - Football

Rugby Football - Rugby

Canadian Football - CFL

Aussie Rules - Whatever the fuck you want
