Every goal in soccer is just ONE goal (one point) and for football, in Football there are touchdowns (6 points), field goals (3 points) and safeties (2 points). The matches in soccer last longer than in a football game (2 periods of 45 minutes each vs. 4 periods of 15 minutes each).
As you can see, there are similarities in both like the use of words like penalty, goal, both have 11 players... but there are very different between them. More information go to wikipedia...
A funny thing is that the word "football" is applied to Rugby football (Rugby union and Rugby league), American football, Australian rules football, Gaelic football and Canadian football.

It's in the name. Most North Americans call it soccer, while the rest of the world calls it football, unless you're talking about American football, which is a completely different game.

Soccer is the game you play with your feet only (unless your a goal keeper then you are allowed to use your hands), Only in America its called Soccer. Its called Football everywhere else.
Football in Ameria is the like rugby everywhere else. The one where you push and shove and all to get to the other end.

Different balls are used, and there are different rules to the game. Football in America is a "contact" sport. You can "tackle" a member of the opposing team if they possess the ball, and in soccer you cannot. Also, you can use your hands in an American football game to pass the ball to another player on your team.

Football in America is not soccer, but Soccer anywhere else is football.
So the difference is where you live.
