From David Beckham To KSI, The Entire Internet Seems Divided Between ‘Soccer’ and ‘Football’

There are some really skewed viewpoints in the world of sports. Consider the terms Soccer in the United States and Football in the United Kingdom. Although there have been a few instances when both terminologies have been deemed to be confusing for sports fans geographically and historically, it appears that YouTubers and streamers are also getting part in the conversation.

From David Beckham to KSI and Timthetatman, everyone is giving a take on what they think the beloved sports should be called. And with some history lessons, it seems that the problem here is rooted deep in history.

It’s called Soccer? It’s called Football? David Beckham and YouTube streamers have their say in the debate

It’s called soccer. This is a phrase that was recently chanted in the Al Bayt Stadium last night during the USA vs England, FIFA World Cup 2022 match. Here, the USA fans are referring to the sport of soccer, which is more commonly known as football in other parts of the world.

There are many others who believe that soccer is the correct term for the sport. They argue that football is a generic term that can be applied to many sports, such as American football, rugby, and Australian rules football. Soccer is a more specific term that refers to the game played with a round ball on a large field.

Additionally, KSI, before the matchup, posted a Tweet saying, “There’s no way we lose to a country that call football, “soccer”.”

It is tough to say when this banter will even end or even if the banter has any solid solution or not, but one this is for sure, this ‘Football vs Soccer’ banter has brought a lot of entertaining aspects to the sport.
