In Arabic 'soccer' is called 'kurra'.
كرة = kurra = soccer
Yeah, this joke is pretty misleading. Although most tongues say "football" (which a dumb name outside English), many have their own.
Even in English, "football" is only said by the Indians and Nigerians, even though it is the more sensible name.
