    Football is only ambiguous in the US

    Or on the internet, where the nationality of the people you are talking to is usually not immediately clear.

    If you say “soccer” or “American football” online, everyone knows what you mean without needing to know your nationality.

      Cannot believe this is controversial tbh, I hate creeping Americanisms as much as the next guy, but the very fact people are arguing about it here is proof that “football” is ambiguous in online spaces

      You can tell when someone is american because usually they are as dense as a black hole.
