If you say "football" in en-GB then you mean the game run by the Football Association in England, and by FIFA internationally. If you say "Rugby", you mean whichever of the two codes is dominant in your part of the country / social circle (and probably Rugby Union by default). At least the ball's the same shape for Rugby Union and Rugby League.
Of course you can tag what you like and if you want to tag sport=soccer and if enough people use that then people will figure out what you mean. But it'll be 95% guesswork if you tag sport=football for anything other than "Association Football".
