Answer 4

Football and soccer are the same thing in the UK.
The terms really exist to clarify the difference in America where "football" really is more like rugby with armour on and soccer is what the Brits call football (because in our version at least you have to use your feet to kick the ball rather than crrying it).

Answer 5

depends on what country you are in. In America, football, is the pigskin and the pads and the tight ends and recievers, so on and so forth. Soccer, is basically the black and white checkered ball. In other countries soccer and football are one in the same. In Australia, they have an insane game called Australian rules football, which is a combo of American football and soccer and no pads.
