this sport is called FIFA World Cup, in which FIFA means Fédération Internationale de Football Association (see the word "football"), if the word "soccer" is just an abreviation of "Football Association" (see "football" again), why do you call it "soccer" and why do you call a sport in which you pass the ball with your HANDS, carry it with your HANDS, score using your HANDS... football?! Does it make sense to you?
P.S. If you want to tell me that you do kick that ball sometimes, then I could tell you that in football we do hit the ball with the head, sometimes, but we don't call the game "headball".
P.S. 2: If you want to blame it on the people who were using this abbreviation (socca or soccer) to name the game, then maybe we should change "Let's play some American football" into "Let's play some nefel (NFL)".
