    Do Canadians call it football or soccer?

    As a Canadian, I've always been curious about whether we call the sport "football" or "soccer." After some research, I found that Canadians primarily use the term "soccer" to refer to the game played with a round ball and feet. The word "football" is usually reserved for American or Canadian football, which is a different sport altogether. It seems that we've adopted the American terminology in this case, despite our close ties with British culture. So, when in Canada, it's safe to say you should call it "soccer" to avoid any confusion.
