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?
No I live in the USA. We just have a sister division in the UK and we travel back and forth.
Are your coworkers excited about the World Cup match with Sweden coming up? That last game was close with the penalty kicks!
Oh they are fit to be tied! English football fans are ridiculous. One time I was riding a train southern England right after a match with a bunch of drunk fans. I though they were gonna rock the train right off the tracks!
