Actually, when you think about it, the only real football IS soccer. Why? Because you only use your feet ... hence FOOTball.

Other Pseudo-football codes like Australian-football, Rugby-football and American-football (to name a few) all allow the use the players' hands and as such are not strictly football at all.

As for which type of ball-sport you follow (or which you don't like) all depends on what you were raised to be enthusiastic about. All sports are silly, because they are meant to be a sociable game, where people comete against each other within a predefined set of rules to mske the game fun!! Remember fun. That is the ultimate purpose of sport. Just fun. hence 'fun and games'.
