Yesterday we'd been to our grandson's Little League football game & I was explaining how what we call "football" here is actually "soccer" in European communities. He looked a bit puzzled for a moment, then wanted to know if we call our kind of football "football", and we call soccer "soccer", then what do the Europeans call our kind of football? Good question! My best guess was "American football"? What do you call it??? :)La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187194216909402027.post-65231970986656437102014-11-02T01:22:26.175-08:002014-11-02T01:22:26.175-08:00A friend recently had a picture of framed vintage ...A friend recently had a picture of framed vintage advertisements on the wall.
