    SOCCER is used just by americand because their Football is "rugby" .
    So if you arent going to make the website for americans [what I doubt, because there isnt so popular] use "football" .
    Football, and I love it :D

    The majority of the plantet know it as football.

    So unless it's going to be just for the US, it as to be football.

    If your only basing it on USA use the term soccer, if worldwide or European use football.

    Who are you aiming the site at? If the site is going to predominantly English football news, then go for football, but if the site is going to be a blog based around football/soccer in America, then go for soccer. It really depends on who your target audience is.

    I'm sorry none English people but calling the beautiful game "soccer" makes my blood boil...

    Back on topic - if your targeting England (google.co.uk) go for football, otherwise soccer I reckon....

    Football. Remember, America in general doesn't care about soccer (unfortunately), so I doubt you'd be getting more traffic from US people typing in "soccer" than the latter.

    Football Football Football !!

    Although the whole world is becoming 'Americanised' and even in England we know what soccer is/stands for I would go for football as the whole of Europe uses it.
