Comment on Does the rest of the English speaking world generally understand what an American means when they say "soccer", or does it help to clarify by adding "football"?

  Australians also call it soccer.

    Not sure why you got a downvote on this - it’s entirely accurate. We have our own local football code that we call, you know, football.

  It is “Fußball” in German which is what I speak natively. But I still usually say “soccer” when I speak English because that is unambiguous.
