Football (also called soccer)

I don't get it. Europeans, especially Britons, are obsessed with this sport. Probably more so that Americans are with their football. But it seems to me that there is a lot of running back and forth with the ball and nobody scoring any goals. Why is this exciting? (No offense to any soccer players out there.)

Becky, I have no way to read your comment on my xanga site :( so can you write here? Or email me.
