Pool is the same as American pool but in England they usually play 8 ball and the rules are different. Table is smaller, balls are smaller, pockets are smaller. 9 ball is fun though.
In Spanish they use the term billar for pool which obviously translates to billiards but that's because they're smart enough not to have one word with two different meanings.
