In America they were playing something like rugby football and eventually dropped the rugby part at roughly the same time England was playing association football and dropped the association part. It was hardly the most popular worldwide sport at the time.

And Australian football, and Rugby football, and Association football that got shortened to "soccer". In England, originally. There are probably more.
