Well, I know a thing or two about soccer and rugby, but have no idea what Association Football is. Do you know anything about it?
It's actually another name for soccer, which is a shortening of the phrase.
Oh. Is it professional soccer or both amateur and professonal?
It refers to soccer in general, but was originally developed in England in 1863.
I didn't realize that. My favorite team growing up was Glasgow Rangers - I'm Scottish. Do you play?
I played a little but never really got into it. I do like it though it's not as big in the US.
True, but it's gaining in popularity. It'll never be as popular as NFL over here though. I liked watching the Women's World cup and actually went to a semi-final game back in 1999 (I think it was).
It is the 3rd most played team sport after basketball and football though. I found that surprising.
That is very surprising if you mean in the US. Worldwide I'd say it's probably the most played team sport.
Yeah in the US. Soccer is the most popular worldwide with 250m players.
