They couldn't call it American Football, since it wouldn't be limited to just the U.S. IMO, keep American football in America!

Canadians play American style football too, on a 110 yard field. There was also American football in Europe in the 90s and 2000s, first called The World League and then later when it was restarted it was called NFL Europe.

Actually, we're the one's who call it Soccer (with the black and white ball you kick into a net). To the rest of the world, THAT IS Football. And just to confuse things worse, there's Austrailian Rules Football - which is rugby!
