I got a scholarship for playing football (soccer)! I hope to play in FIFA some day.
Congratulations! That is quite an achievement! I have to imagine you're watching the World Cup?
Yeah! I'm sad the US didn't make it but I'm rooting for Mexico. The sad thing it's only every 4 years so the US has to sit out 8 years (or more) to play in the World Cup again.
I work with a lot of English people. They weren't very productive yesterday afternoon at work!
They have unusual norms in England. They prioritize work lower than US culture. Do you live in England or are they immigrants?
