Since our club's name includes the word football, what are we Americans supposed to call the game? I know it's not a big deal either way but I was curious what you guys think? We play in MLS, Major League Soccer. Most Americans know the game as soccer. Football here is played with pads and is our national passion. Seeing as how we have two NFL teams associated to New York will this confuse people?
I like calling it football because that's what the game is but I recall reading in another thread some derision towards referring to things soccer related here by their European names. Was it a good idea to have 'Football' in our name?
What do you think?
