Because the game was invented here, a long time before American "Football". Question really ought to be, why do you call football "soccer". Grrr!

Soccer is an English coloquial version of the phrase 'Association Football' .The game is called Football NOT Soccer.

The word 'Soccer' was used to describe on particular form of league of football.
