No doubt some of the scientists involved are football fans too! ;-)

If anything, watching other countries demonstrates how over-rated our
players are. The passing and in particularly the movement of most of
them, is far superior.

On that though (and especially football), I wonder what percentage of
people (typically men, I don't think women would be expected ..) put
on a bit of interest in football when they really have little / none?

It can be awkward ... people asking 'if you watched the game' or
'didn't they do well last night' assuming you would be interested when
the likes of me has no idea who 'they' might be. I know many people
are keen to 'fit in' and I'm sure doing so could even be important in
some business circles?

(And it's not just football of course).
