'football' es el juego deportivo que en español conocemos como 'fútbol'. Sin embargo, en USA se llama 'soccer'.

El torneo inglés más prestigioso es la 'FA cup' ('FA' por la 'Football Association'). En USA, el acontecimiento deportivo más popular es la 'Super Bowl' en el que se enfrentan los ganadores de las dos ligas, la 'American football league' y la 'National football league'.
