I love to watch football!

I love watching football (soccer). Even though I am an American it still seems proper to me to call it football. So pardon me, fellow Americans, I’ve just got to call soccer—football. (Even though I've grown up in a die-hard football family, I still love American football. ...this is getting too confusing.) I have found that can sit there and watch a whole match. The past couple days I’ve caught 2 games, and I know I have other things to do, but watching the football match takes precedence! My trips to England, Scotland and Portugal must have had an influence. I think it’s so cool to see such a universal sport. Anywhere you travel around the world you’ll see children, and big kids playing soccer/ football/ futbol. Even though I’ve never played (I always wished I had… anyone know any soccer leagues for women beginners?) I am catching on to the rules & penalties to the game, but overall it seems pretty simple.

So my wish is to someday attend a game in England or in Europe someday. The energy of the crowd would be exhilarating to be apart of—especially when it involves rivals, such as Manchester United ... Liverpool ... West Ham United... Birmingham. (actually I really have no clue who the main rivals are, I just know that when the rivals play, nothing else matters, but the game!)
