I have this argument all the time guys what with being a Brit living in Tampa. My retort is usually a combination of the following:
"Look up FIFA and UEFA and see if you can see the word soccer in there"
"You speak English right? Well it is called Football so if you want to call it soccer, fuck off and invent your own language, just don't call in English"
I'd probably counter with...
"FIFA is a French acronym and translated is International Federation of Association Football. We take Association, you take Football." I would also conveniently ignore the UEFA part of the comment haha.
"That's right, I speak American." <--and I would probably shudder on the inside, only saying it to annoy you
