Soccer is actually the correct name.
In the 1880s, Oxford University differentiated sports as "rugger" and "assoccer", later shortened to "soccer".
Unfortunately, the Yanks are begrudgingly right here.

I also imagine Grep would say US dates are easier for sorting in file structures although year first works better for that.

The many who call their country 'murca amuse me. And of course soccer might be the correct term but not when pronounced as 'saaccer'.

There's a deathmatch in the making there.
An American saying 'Squirrel' vs someone from Northern Ireland saying 'Mirror'.
