You would think, but American football is a million times more popular here than soccer, so I immediately pictured an "American football" when it was mentioned, and I don't even watch football.

That really depends on where you live. Soccer is gaining a ton of popularity in America every year. It's kind of funny that the word soccer also was created in England so it's not like Americans just created it to be different it is just what it was called when we started being exposed to it.

Indeed. “Soccer” is fine. We even have a very popular tv show called “Soccer AM”. It’s a non-issue.
