I go on a few Springsteen sites and the amount of Sceptics that profess to fandom of Chelski, Abu Dhabi, Liverpool, Spurs etc.

It's quite funny seeing them discuss fitba with their quaint terminology about "making plays" and suchlike.
Of course I never subtly and passive-aggresively rip the pi5h oota them.

My son is at university in the States on a football scholarship. Sometimes his games are streamed live. If there's the American commentary with it too, its normally unintentionally entertaining. "The goal minder made a good stop at the back stick". Etc. My son won the "Offensive" player of the week for the conference one week which I thought was hilarious as he certainly can be offensive when he wants to be.
