In Ireland, one of our national sports is [Gaelic Football](https://youtu.be/TEAbWrdB9XU). People often refer to it as “football” and use the word “soccer” for that sport. So it is not just in the USA. There are many sports referred to as “football” around the world. Soccer and rugby are big in Ireland, so we have several popular forms of football.
