I enjoyed reading that when it showed up in my RSS reader earlier.
I was amused by your "fútbol" phrasing.
"soccer" as a toffs term makes sense, given also "rugger". As a lower-class Northerner it's not one we use much. "Footie" is our shortened form; do the Americans shorten their football at all?
