Trump was being an arse, and I doubt the US team were behind it. It is normal Trump stuff.

Why would I?
In American English, "football" is "American football".
Elsewhere, "football" is what is called "Fußball" in German.
"Soccer" sounds like an insult to me...

Americans abroad:

"What you call football is that stupid boring game where one is not allowed to touch the ball with ones hands. What we call football is the real thing, because our ball isn't shaped like a ball and one is allowed to touch this egg shaped thing with your hands".

TBF I remember English snobs always called it Soccer because to them Rugger was always the real football. It was a real class divider when I was young.(I am old)
