What seemed weird when I visited your country
Barmymoo:
The England football team frequently has players from as many different countries as that but it doesn't make it the World football team!

Are you kidding me? Have you ever been out when Germany has a world cup game? It's deserted. And everything is full of football stuff. There are suddenly flags and jerseys everywhere, commercials are centered around football, every news station recaps every single game. It is EVERYWHERE.
Barmymoo:
Yeah, the World Cup is a big deal. I have vague memories of the 2002 World Cup and not having any actual lessons at school the day England were playing (must have been the quarter finals, according to Wikipedia) because so many teachers were off.
ev4n:
i think i did a quick mental guess and decided that for every person who plays or has played american football there are ~30 people who have played "world" football.
Method of Madness:
Association football is the term you're looking for.
