Foot vs. Football
Once again we have a theme day here at the Travel & Culture Channel and the theme happens to be the NFL. Well as far as I’m concerned, neither football or American football interest me very much….that is of course unless France is doing well and there’s a possibility of them going all the way in the World Cup! Or unless the Pittsburgh Steelers are having a good year and they have a chance of playing in the Superbowl.
I know, I know, I’m a fair weather fan! I can’t help it! I can still remember the era of Michel Platini (Sorry Diego!) and Zidane’s goals defeating Brazil in the World Cup. Or when Terry Bradshaw threw that final ball with only seconds on the clock for a touchdown, and years later when no one could stop “the Bus” in the Superbowl and getting that “one for the thumb”!
Yep, if France or the Steelers are playing, I’m the one screaming and hollering like a maniac, but that said, bottom line: if they aren’t playing, then I couldn’t care less who is!
No Football Lover here!

Those are quite different to like the steelers and French football…..good to see you have a broad enjoyment of sport. Michel Platini is amazing btw :)

Yes, I do enjoy sports….I love to watch a good tennis match as well, but there’s the operative word - watch! I like to watch, not participate! LOL.
I agree about Platini….it was wonderful to watch him as well as Maradona, or Pelé before them!
