I grew up in Dudley (England) in 70s and 80s and “Soccer” was definitely used in daily slang speech. I would say as much as “football” while at school. Even used to watch Star Soccer on the telly every Sunday. No one would bat an eyelid to its use then . Probably as a backlash against Americans using the term it fell out of favour in Britain during 90s.Not used by the English
I like the term and don’t like how Americans have taken ownership of it.
