Do you like/play/watch soccer?
 
Hi,

Canada welcomes hundreds of thousands of immigrants each year and not small part of these people is from Europe where soccer is very popular. I for one enjoy playing soccer and I watch the English Premier League matches whenever I can. I hate to use the word soccer (it's football after all), but if I use football, everybody here will think that I'm talking about American football.

Do you like soccer and what is your favourite team?

i find all sports boring to watch with the exception of hockey (and even that can put me to sleep by the 3rd period).

Yup pretty big fan of the English Premier League as well.

Loved the this year's world cup too.

I've never been a soccer (football) fan. However, I was in England earlier this year visiting all my relatives (I was born there; only my immediate family is in Canada) and I enjoyed watching a few games. Everyone I met over there is right into it. Everyone is wearing football shirts, the kids are playing it in the streets, and it is hot topic at every corner pub. I have to admit I got a little caught up in it and found myself watching as well.

Oh yeah, go Newcastle! Newcastle is about a 40 minute drive from my home town of Darlington, England.

Yes, you can get pretty excited about soccer, while visiting England. And before I forget ARSENAL RULES :)
