No the british and people other countries don't most of the time, some may just not know, and others may simply have forgotten at the time.
It moreso comes across as a stubborn thing for people to do. A Canadian for being a bigger soccer fan than NA football, so refusing to acknowledge NA football and constantly refer to soccer as football, initially confusing people in the process.
I don't know if it happens, but it would be like a British chap being a bigger fan of NA football over soccer and thus always refering to NA football as simply football and calling football soccer over there.

I'm Canadian and don't care much for Canadian or US "football." European football, however, is my second favourite sport and thus the one I call football. NA football should have never been called football because only 2 people on each team use their feet to play.

Hey, as long as "zee" speakers say "Bee(B)-oat", "Arr(R)-ed" and "Em(M)-uscle," that argument is acceptable. Otherwise, it is all arbitrary. And maybe the way, ZED is the proper pronounciation!!!
