You incorrectly called soccer "football."  Football is played in America and is a real sport.  Soccer is a game -- not a sport.  Anyone can kick a little ball.

There is only one kind of "football".........American football . \n\nWhy is soccer called soccer and what exactly is a soccer?\n\nAmerican football was started in 1879 with rules instituted by Walter Camp.\nDerived from the English game of rugby, American football was started in 1879 with rules instituted by Walter Camp, player and coach at Yale University. He was general athletic director and head advisory football coach at Yale University from 1888-1914, and chairman of the Yale football committee from 1888-1912. Camp played football at Yale and helped evolve the rules of the game away from Rugby and Soccer rules into the rules of American Football as we know them today.\n\nOne precursor to Walter Camp's influence was William Ebb Ellis, a student at the Rugby School in England. In 1823, Ellis was the first person noted for picking up the ball during the soccer game and running with it, thereby breaking and changing the rules. In 1876, at the Massosoit convention, the the first attempts at writing down the rules of American football were made. Walter Camp edited every American Football rulebook until his death in 1925.\n\nWalter Camp contibuted the following changes from Rugby and Soccer to American football: \n\none side retained undisputed possession of the ball, until that side gives up the ball as a result of its own violations \nthe line of scrimmage \n11 on a team instead of 15 \ncreated the quarter-back and center positions \nforward pass \nstandardized the scoring system, numerical scoring \ncreated the safety, interference, penalties, and the neutral zone \ntackling as low as the knee was permitted - 1888 \na touchdown increased in value to six points and field goals went down to three points - 1912

The international game known as Football (or Futbol) - what Americans refer to as "soccer" - has only gained popularity in America in the last few years, and has never been a popular spectator sport here.  Although American football does involve hand-touching, it is one of the few games played here that involves kicking the ball, so that's probably where the name came from.
