Soccer, as it is called in the USA in the rest of the world, "football", is not unlike our, and the Canadians hockey.

A fistfight where every now and then a hockey game breaks out.

Did you know that the word soccer originated in England? Yes, I know they call it football today, but originally both rugby and soccer were called football. The Brits dropped the term soccer when it gained traction “across the pond.”
