Futebol, futbol, fussball, calcio, foot-ball, football...
In Portuguese, we have also 2 words for this sport: ludopédio & balípodo.

First, I do think sports are compatible with an intellectual live (believe me, there are some that think both are exclusive).... I personally like a little bit football (american nfl style)....
BUT THE KING OF KINGS OF ALL IS FUTBOL....
Or for you, , "soccer"
