Why? None of the many, many countries that have this as their main sport call it soccer.
Soccer was used first in England to distinguish Association Football (soccer) from Rugby Union Football (rugger).

This is Australia.

I think some people are under the pressure that the English Football Board is just for discussing Premier League and English players.
But I know it is for everything, so it doesn't bother me .

But then, Rugby is English football as well.

How about "Soccer - The World Game, except in the United States & the only place that matters to us - AUSTRALIA".
or how about "Soccer - Australia's 4th biggest football code".

Is this a **** take or serious??
If it's serious, thanks for that bit of information, i never knew that...
Yeah OK.
It's better now. "Worldwide English football" was a bit contradictory.
No it wasn't.

A Large Portion, Yes
... that was never 5 minutes.
No, no, no, this is getting hit over the head lessons.
95% of the contributors to that board are Australians who have no qualms about referring to the game as soccer.
The new name, while a vast improvement on the ridiculous former name, is still unneccesarily unwieldy, compared to a simple six letter word that everyone understands.
I'm not sure why there is an issue here. The title of the "WWF" board, unless it stands for World Wildlife Fund, refers to an organisation that no longer exists. Yet it is the name that most of the users of the board prefer.
If the majority of the soccer board contributors want the board called "Soccer Board", then what's the problem? If it's a BigSoccer issue, then say so.

It's not a BigSoccer issue.
It's done.
The name has been changed.
That's it.
End of topic.
