It's called football for a reason, you make contact with the ball with your foot not hand.

SOCCER
Is actually the English derived name for the sport not American.
It is derived from the term Association Football.
Back in the day you has Association Football and Rugby Football (or depending when Rugby Union Football and Rugby League Football).
Soccer or Rugger
So in the UK, and the rest of the world, the terms Soccer and Football are equally valid for our National Sport.
