Soccer is so popular here in the UK, do you like the sport? 
It's the third most played sport here in the US, and I played it when I was a kid. I was goalie, and I had a lot of fun!
Same, i enjoyed playing goalie as well! and that's not surprising that its so popular in the USA as well. Do you know if its popular in other countries around the world? 
Yes indeed, in over 200 countries. I mean we just had the World Cup, right? By the way I really thought it was coming home for you guys...
Yeah so did we, i've never shouted "its coming home" so much in my life before haha, good effort though! Do you know any of the rules in football?
Well, no contact with arms or hands (except for goalies in the box), and you must flop ridiculously if someone trips you. :^)
Thats very true haha, you have a great understanding of the game! 
I dabble. My MLS team here in Houston Texas is actually pretty decent, so I get to watch good games from time to time.
