Number of people calling association football "soccer": 347 million
Number of people calling association football "football": 6635 million
Only 5.23% of the world call it soccer, that's not that bad, it could've been worse.
PS Messi is indeed a god.

this is silly though, just look at the shape of the 'football' then, it's not even in the shape of a foot!
I propose we henceforth just call european football BALL since it actually is one, and like OP said the american football EGGBALL
Good, Good

First, "football" as it is known around the globe was called "associated football" in England. This was often shortened to "soccer".
Second, "football" in America started out as "gridiron football". Instead of keeping two long names that ended in "football" Americans have just continued to use the shortened version of "associated football" as "soccer" and "gridiron football" as "football"
This is how it is. Now, whenever I speak to a non-american I use "football" and "american football"

it really makes you that angry when people in another country use a different word for a sport than you do? i also don't really get why you went into the USA bashing either. remember when your country tried to exterminate an entire race of people along with all disabled people in the name of the 'fuehrer?' I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT, THAT WAS BEFORE I WAS BORN. well, 99.999% of Americans are not out actively raping other countries with oil and other resources, sorry to inform you.

A logical approach. But when you are addressing a resident of the rest of the world about this topic how would you refer to it?
You can call it however you like across the sea, but when speaking with us you shall call soccer football.
Oh and btw our players are much more handsome and get better dates. Your players look like oversized gorillas while Pique dates Shakira. Dat ass!

Are you seriously going to make the statement that football players don't date/ marry hot girls?
Not only is that ignorant (http://www.athleteswives.com/rankings/hottest-football-nfl-wives-girlfriends/), but that goes against the stereotype for football players (not soccer players, rofl), and it's also just causing more random problems. That's just plain stupid.
That's like someone defending American football over soccer by saying, "Our players could collectively punch a hole through your players, so we're a better sport than you." What the heck?

It doesn't matter, it's just that sometimes it'd be nice if the world just a bit more logical. If it just made a bit more sense, you know?
Of course, if you don't want to apply logic to your naming procedure, no one can force you too; you're perfectly entitled to your illogical naming of the sport.

Irrelevant, as a 'ball' is still an object, much as an 'egg' is an object (as well as a shape).
