Explain football to me

[NYC Liberal]

No...really...stop laughing! I never watch it, probably because I don't know what the heck's going on. So someone give me a rundown of the basics. :)

1. People kick a ball with their feet from end to end

for 90 minutes, or 120 in the case of any England game. Then David Beckham kicks it over the crossbar, and England lose again.

Oh, you mean that football ...

2. I think the poster might be referring to American football...

but the best definition of soccer I heard was from Gary Lineker who said that football was a game where you have eleven players on each side and Germany wins.

3. Whoever scores the most points wins the game...

You read it here first...:silly:

4. Your IQ must be too large...

to understand that crap. I also don't understand the stupid cartoons that are marketed to preschoolers now. Consider it a good thing that you don't understand it.
