I thought Lilly had dibs on the soccer players. Alesha seems to be on level 13 with no history other than a start date of 10/2021, performance rating of 0.0%, and posting 9 questions so far. (Selecting player #1 worked for me.)

Peggy Tinsley, Paolo became famous for the wrong reasons. Prior to Espana 82 he was banned for match fixing.

Peggy Tinsley,
Please stop harping over terminology. The sophisticated, worldly adult understands the differences in terminology and uses the terminology to determine the location or culture of the speaker. Soccer and football are interchangeable terms referring to the same sport. We all know that. Why is it necessaty to rehash the same tiresome debate every single time the terms appear?
Please let it go!
