The answer to this question depends upon whether you’re asking from an American viewpoint or one from elsewhere in the world

[{"selector":"#anim-a70e5837-aa3d-4cd0-9288-91f054009f6d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d17b3869-cfeb-40e7-9ea5-2563e1969929","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 145.15922%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-306db622-052f-41c7-a75f-5e58978c4121 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(43.74694823120393%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

To an American, this question could also read ‘What's the difference between soccer and American football?’

The answer is quite clear as soccer and American football are two completely different games

[{"selector":"#anim-98417d3d-4639-4dcb-9aa6-082036c6068a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8ca98d79-3052-4275-b0fe-b0c55d35a5a0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 181.84660%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-57f0e8f3-9bc9-4eb2-a1b1-b19b4db0641d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-47.75370068542467%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Soccer is played with a round ball that can be kicked and headed.

[{"selector":"#anim-bd1e8bfe-9e26-4ad7-af58-b47697eeccda","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9c38458d-cc58-4047-84f8-6d0441b7b715","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 207.54334%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d2230906-f73b-4764-b22a-2f52d38b136a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-45.28166117951261%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

American football, however, is more of a rugby type game in which the oblong shaped ball is thrown and passed as well as kicked.

In the rest of the world, however, the word ‘football’ does not mean ‘American football’. It means Association Football, also known as soccer
