Just on the 'soccer' theme. It's an English name derived from 'Association Football' (apparently) but I'll still never call it that.
Football played in its spiritual home?
Just to add balance, let's have a look some others ports - especially American sports. Calling your national baseball league World Series is a wank. Admit it. Meanwhile grid iron is almost as fast as golf and lawn bowls. Almost. (sorry Bon lol). But it's at least faster than cricket (sorry Duncan).
In Australia, we either have Aussie Rules and Rugby league, both games thuggish and dangerous. Unlike grid iron, where everyone hugs and chats in a sewing circle most of the time, in thugby league they spend half their time with their heads up each others' (ample) arses. In Aussie Rules there are long passages where the players scrabble around as though they're competing to grab a cake of wet soap from the bottom of the bathtub.
Triggers a philosophical question though:
You enjoy playing sports but not watching it. I'm not saying anyone should, but:
You enjoy playing music and you enjoy listening to it, right?
What's the difference?
Yanks call a round black and white ball a soccer ball. Europeans call that a football. What do Europeans call an American style football, you know the brown one with the 2 white stripes?

An American Football. It's very simple, really.
But do you guys put a condescending inflection to it, like an American pffft football?
