Dear Americans,
Here is an important lesson for you to learn: There is no sport called "Soccer". The sport that was invented between the years 220 and 680 (yes, years with 3 digits do exist) is called Football. Nobody knows why you guys call a sport that was invented somewhat later (1869) and is played by motorbikers (that's why they wear helmets, not so?) football. It's neither played with the feet nor with a ball. If you called it American Rugby I am sure nobody would argue. I know some of you find football boring, but that's no reason to change its name. I find horse riding the most boring sport in the world, nevertheless it is still horse riding.
So note: The world cup played in South Africa presently is the Football World Cup. Soccer is a four letter word.
So watch the video where John Cleese (Monthy Python, A Fish Called Wanda, Wild Creatures, James Bond) explains exactly what I am saying above.
This is the diary and newspost of the Air Navigation Institute in Switzerland. It contains news about the Institute's activities but also information on other Instrument Flight Procedure Design and Aviation related topics. And it's Beat Zimmermann's platform to distract from daily business once in a while.
