Just saw this post. My husband loves soccer and he has got me watching it with him. He loves it, and played it for years. He has over 30 jerseys (easiest presents to buy for him ever - if it's wild and crazy, he will rock it).
This year, a group of us decided to prick a Premier League team to be fans of. My brother has been on the Liverpool train for a decade, my husband has followed Everton. I picked ManU, though I should have picked Man City since they have prettier kits. I need to pay attention to another sport like I need a hole in the head, but here I am. Though it does look like a BLAST to be at a live game and I'd like to go with my husband to match.
And yes, unless I'm watching a match I call it "soccer" because I love American football
Not sure if anybody watches Ted Lasso, but that show makes me laugh how he didn't know any rules because that is still my life
