Is it easier to just call it "soccer" when talking to us, or do you call the game soccer normally? I thought we North Americans were the only ones who didn't call the game football. Do you have a favorite team?
I'm watching our brand of pro football, switching back and forth between the Steelers/Falcons game and the Bengals/Panthers game. Later this afternoon we get the Colts/Redskins game here in our area of the country. This evening we would usually have a Sunday night game, but it's not on for some reason. Tomorrow night on Monday Night Football is Giants/Dallas, which should be pretty good.
By the way, what are you preparing for Sunday dinner?
I call it soccer to identify that it is not what we call American football.
We do call it soccer but most people refer to it as association football. Actually the upper classes in Britain refer to it more than anyone else as soccer because to them football is rugby.
The full names of both games are:-
Association football (soccer)
Rugby football (rugby)
Arsenal being presented with the Championship a few years ago
Dinner is roast chicken, new pototoes, sugar snaps.
Sweet (dessert) is pumpkin bread recipe given to me by a freeper on dose.
I had to make it from scratch as we do not have tinned pumpkin in Britain apart from speciality shops which we do not have in Ashford.
