The fact that I know as much as I do about football/soccer should be a testament to how freaking big that sport is.
Okay, I don't actually know all that much in point of fact.
But I think we all know just how little I care for sporting events, in general.
So that I even know what little I do know is a testament to how much it's seeped into general culture, because it all comes from watching UK panel shows, none of which are about sports.
