In Spain it's " footbal " even though the Spanish for football is balompie.

The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Or they should move it to Friday to keep the alliteration. Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name.
