How about a little cultural understanding, gentlemen? I understand you call it football, but I grew up with a life dominated by a wholly different game called by that name.

Besides, does it really matter what we call it?

Geez, it's hard enough being an American "football" fan without being attacked by the rest of the world for terminology. You have no idea the blank looks a mention of the World Cup garners here in America (Oh, are they doing that thing again?).

We're probably a few world cups away from being a serious threat, which I suppose is a good thing, since it would no doubt cause great consternation if a country which barely cares were to win the sports championship valued most by the rest of the world.

I'll try to remember to call the sport "football" here, but I might need a little leeway for the slip-ups....
