Reminder to non-Americans/Canadians:
The term 'soccer' was invented by the Brits to differentiate Association ('soccer') football from rubgy ('rugger') football. When it became the popular term in the US and Canada to differentiate Association football from American or Canadian football, they dropped the term in favour of 'football' because it was seen as 'too American' [insert eyeroll here]. So, don't blame Americans and Canadians for using the more specific term for the sport. We're not wrong, you're not wrong, it's just a different dialect.
(Also in the English language, 'American' is SPECIFICALLY the demonym for the United States of America, so calling Canadians 'Americans' is not only linguistically incorrect, it is also very rude.)
