    i can’t make heads or tails of this reply :P

    “how did the running back avoid the defense”, i’m assuming there should be a “to” in there? who runs back? i can’t parse it…

      They went with American football, where “running back” and ”defense” refer to positions.

          The game most of the world calls “football” is called “soccer” in the US. We have a very popular game we call “football” in the US that is unrelated to “soccer”, instead it is related to rugby (still very different from rugby, but there is a relation)
