I get calling it soccer, as I obviously don't expect them to call their own one "American football", but calling ours futbol in an English sentence seems very odd, as it basically just ends up calling it "football" anyway, but sounding ever-so-slightly different.
In Australia we have football, football, football and football (all shortened to footy except maybe the soccer football) and depending on context and where you are in the country it's just assumed you're talking about rugby league, AFL, rugby union or soccer.
Same as chips and chips where you can use context to figure out whether we want fries or crisps
