Norwegian86, in Europe (at least in France and countries around) we call it football but I know that countries like Australia, New Zealand, USA, Korea or Japan call it "soccer". But if you speak about soccer to a french, italian, spanish or german person, he/she will understand what does it mean. I think you understood too when I spoke about soccer no ? It proove that this word is famous and "universal" like "hamburger" or "pizza"
