Barbara, what sort of blasphemy is this. We're talking about the largest religion in the world here - soccer. Not knowing who the nominated Son Of God (Pele) is, would have to be the greatest sacrilege.
For your sins you will be sentenced to watching endless replays of handball, gridiron I think they call it.

#7 American football is where you can sit in the stands and hear Joe Theisman's leg break. Cringe.

#8 Or watch Joe Namath pitch pantyhose and get creamed.

Or, as my kid brother said, "no wonder Namath's got weak knees".
