	...guys falling on purpose and grabbing their legs, pouting so the ref will call a foul? Ninety minutes without either team scoring? Please, do go on! ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oi. Please do not act as though American "football" players don't do the very same, grabbing one another's uniforms to get the clock to stop. And if you attempt to say that this has never happened in an American "football" game, I'll have you know I watched an entire game on telly back home once with my sister-in-law and it was quite nearly the same lack of scoring.

Your blokes wear their own weight in padding like a bunch of ~~cun~~ babies. Real men take the hits. ~~We also don't need loads of bouncing girls screaming for us to do well for it to happen~~ Best thing about American "football" is halftime.

The clock doesn't really stop, but soccer players sure do like to casually pass the ball back and forth to waste minutes. WORSE. At least both teams get a breather when the clock is stopped. :P I'm not saying there's never been a tie in a football game over here, but that's pretty darn rare. Plus, crashing into each other, remember? The ball flying through the air in a beautiful arc... ~~I really hope college football is still a thing in this universe~~

Blah, blah. Your guys don't even get hit most of the time. Skinned knees are nothing. I could take a harder hit than Beckham. To be clear: the best thing is the cheerleaders or the marching band?

	Real footballs fly in an arc when they're kicked or headbutted properly! ...you've watched soccer. You've not seen a proper West Ham match, have you, love? And you probably could, he's a pouf. The cheerleaders, if 'm being honest. Though, if by marching band you mean the celebrity flavour of the month, sometimes I'd probably prefer that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You keep saying that, but I'll take an eighty yard pass into the End Zone over bouncing a ball of someone's head any day of the week.

West Ham, what? I've seen a World Cup match, does that count? And hey! Beckham's... ~~HOT~~ a legend or something. Okay, well, cheerleaders are pretty awesome but they're supposed to boost team spirit, not take your attention away from the game. How many games have you watched and were the players in high school? No way you pick them over the Huskers.

	"West Ham, what?" ...you're joking. Right? You're joking? Close enough, I s'pose. That's saying something, for a Yank, anyway. Good on you, love. ...never watched a high school game. ~~Went to one once, but it was to keep an eye on a suspected dem~~ Huskers? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigolfive 2012-09-07 07:51 am UTC (link)
	I'm actually serious, but if it'll make you feel better I can definitely pretend I'm joking. And excuse me, but I know enough to know our ladies soccer team kicks all kinds of ass internationally. "For a Yank?" Pfft. High school games are...more about school spirit than mind-blowing plays. Huskers, yeah! University of Nebraska? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It'll make me feel better. Most of you lot don't bother with the World Cup, I'm impressed. ...'m unfamiliar with uni out here. Take it that's your team? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigolfive 2012-09-08 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Done! Consider me a big ol' pretender. LOL well, it's kinda hard to miss the hoopla in the media about them come those big events in soccer. Um, I didn't go there but I'm from Nebraska so it's kind of a "root, root, root for the home team" sorta thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brilliant! Noticing the media and actually watching a match are two separate entities, darling. Oh, that makes sense then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, I've seen games, sweetie. I was just also eleven when our gals won gold at the Olympics that year women's soccer first made it into the games. And I'm pretty yay in general about girls kicking butt, so I make the exception to watch Team USA dominate our international competition. I meant that most anyone you ask probably knows about our ladies soccer team. :P

Also, huzzah! This really nice guy named Connor says he's got me covered with the credentials and stuff and I should be officially - on paper, at least - qualified to be a sub on Monday.

	~~Bollocks you sound like that Darcy bint with the "sweeties"~~ Fair point. I pay little attention to the teams outside of the UK, if 'm being honest. I ought to fix that now that I'm in the land of the Yanks, yeah? Brilliant! I'll mention you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigolfive 2012-09-08 07:24 am UTC (link)
	Mhm. You should also fix the anti-football thing you've got going now that you're in the land of the Yanks. When in Rome! Thanks so much again. I really appreciate it, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notthemajor 2012-09-08 07:26 am UTC (link)
	Right, that is not happening. Ever. Don't mention it, darling. Here, we all take care of one another. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigolfive 2012-09-08 07:55 am UTC (link)
	Big words, sweetie. Challenge? Totally accepted. Yeah, but I haven't done any of the taking care of you, yet. So I still have to say it. But I promise that's the last time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notthemajor 2012-09-08 07:57 am UTC (link)
	Godspeed, love. It is not happening. 'm all right, I've been here a bit, you're still new. But you're welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigolfive 2012-09-08 08:01 am UTC (link)
	Right. Definitely not. Uh huh. ~~We'll see about that, bucko!~~ So...you guys all stop with the mutual taking care-age after six weeks? Good to know! :P (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ha, once you've settled in or there's a new bunch and you're not new, then it'll be your turn to step up, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigolfive 2012-09-08 08:17 am UTC (link)
	Oh, yeah. Is it weird to be looking forward to that day? Not that I want to stay here forever, you know, but like, not being the fish out of water? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notthemajor 2012-09-08 08:37 am UTC (link)
	No...been there, darling. I know the feeling. Worse, I'd been here before and didn't remember. That was bollocks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigolfive 2012-09-08 08:42 am UTC (link)
	You got pulled out and back in? See, that's just wrong. It's crazy enough to yank someone out of their life once, but twice? God is clearly feeling a whole lotta Old Testament moodiness lately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notthemajor 2012-09-08 08:50 am UTC (link)
	Yeah...well technically speaking, I only got pulled out of my life once... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
