It's either Football or the local equivalent to "Foot" and "Ball".
The sport with the egg is "American Football". And you US citizens can call our football "European Football" and not *Soccer".
Foosball specifically refers to the tabletop game in America.
Foosball is just an Americanized spelling of "Fußbal" which is German for Football.
Wasn't the name "soccer" originally from England?
Edit: it was, and it was used for ~100 years in England until around 1960 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_association_football
Well England sucks :p /s
See now we've got a valid argument going
Yeah but only poshos call it "soccer" here to distinguish it from "rugger"
Public schoolboys (i.e. the very posh), yes it's weird
