—Have you been watching the Euro 2012 football tournament?
—Just a bit. Why, you?
—Of course！I've really started to like football since I came to London. Just think, a year ago, I was still in Montreal and didn't know anything about it.
—Well, I'm from New Jersey. Americans aren't so into football. Actually, we call it soccer. Americans say “football”, what we mean is American rules football. I've (be) here two years now, and I still get (confuse) when people call soccer “football”.
—I know all about America. For you, “football” means the sport those big guys wear helmets and violently run into each other.
—Yeah. Americans prefer (watch) sports that are fast, like basketball. I think basketball players are the greatest athletes on earth. they can do just amazes me. But when I watch a soccer match, I just get bored. There aren't enough goals.
—Well, I see what you're saying, there's so much (much)to “soccer”, you call it, than goals. There're a lot of strategies involved. And in a tournament like the Euro 2012, it's fascinating to see how the different countries have different styles of playing.
