Football has been in america for over 100 years. I don't know why they ever called it football i guess because the way it was shaped. I am not sure how long soccer has been around though. I do know we spell soccer futball when we are referring to it as other country's do. This is a intresting question thought i'll probably look it sometime tommorow and see why football was named football.
