Soccer

Abbreviation of 'Association Football'. A playground game of skill involving two teams, a ball, and a goal at each end. The goal of the game is to score goals in the opponent's goal using just your feet. The best players have dedicated hours to fitness and technique. However it is a very achievable sport and any serious primary school champion is probably comparable to the top professional players. The popularity of this sport is a mystery. Scientists believe it has something to do with its simplicity. Most people have played the game, most people understand the core elements, and the vast majority of the population are either extroverted or sports fans. Many take issue with football's overpaid players, its strange politics and its homo-eroticism, and while it is a non-contact sport, supporting football has become its own contact sport. It is also worth noting that 'soccer' fans are very easy to offend, will probably have issues with this sentence, and have bought into a neo-religious lifestyle.
