Really, it makes a whole lot more sense to call soccer "football" since it involves a lot more use of the feet than American football...
My dad told me years ago that they call American football "football" because the ball's a foot long...but I'm not sure I believe that.

in the late 1800's american football was running the ball and kicking and punting the ball. no forward passes. Only using one's FEET.
