Do I care about football/soccer? Not generally. Did I tear up seeing the excited look on that young man’s face, after hearing how long he had been involved as a youth and that he had then won the game for his team? … yeah, I did. The pride and happiness on his face got to me, looks like a great feeling.

John said "they hadn't won a game since December 9th of" and I immediately thought of the Washington Generals and wondered just howany years this agony went back. When he said "last year," I couldn't help but wonder if he'd somehow never heard of the Detroit Lions or Cleveland Browns.

Funny enough, the word "soccer" comes from England in the late 1800's to differentiate "Rugby Football" and "Association Football". Shorted to "rugger" and "soccer". The English don't call it soccer as a backlash to Americans beginning to use the term. So everybody's right! Hooray!
