Probably came off the wrong way on the screen. Wasn't trying to express disagreement. In fact I encourage everyone to post in the thread you linked. I understand why others hate reading about it in this thread. I would HATE to come looking here for some juicy nexus news only to have to sift through 50+ posts of soccer or hockey (put it in perspective for us Americans).
Nah, it's all good!
I really appreciate your support and always-positive attitude!!
Be glad OfTheDamned isn't here right now - between her and me -
it's Hockey Night in Canada!
I can't save you from using the word soccer around the cousins, tho.
Maybe this helps - in days of yore, there were two footballing groups, one was called the Football ASSOCiation.
When wondering which side you were on, a common question was,
Are you an ASSOCer?
And that's where Yanks overhearing the conversations picked up the name soccer for football.
Hope that helped!
