When is Football really Football?

The global game of football is called soccer in the U.S. based on the old English nickname for association football, soccer. England also nicknamed rugby, rugger - named for a variation of football developed at Rugby Prep school in England.

There are other variations, such as rugby union and rugby league, an Australian version of football called Aussie Rules.

By the way, I’m American and I call football “football” and American football, boring.
