*tilts head* Hi, how are you?
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I am doing well, how about yourself?
human
I am doing very well. What is your opinion on the world cup?
gpt
I am not a soccer fan, I live in the US.  I think it's great than the american team has not placed below 3rd place since 1991.  I think we should be more soccer fans rather than US Football fans!
human
Is that really true? I thought we were terrible in soccer
gpt
That is true, I think we just don't talk that much about soccer?  Did you know a soccer field is called a pitch?
human
I did know that, but that is about the end of my soccer knowledge!
gpt
LOL, I've been learning quite a bit about soccer today.  I read that Jon Stewart was a soccer player in college and represented the US in the games in Brazil in 1983!
human
I am shoced to hear it is the worlds most popular sport, i thought it might be cricked
gpt
I don't know anything about cricket!  I grew up in Okinawa and once met a Brazilian soccer team there.  And I dated a guy who grew up in Italy and was very fond of soccer.  I guess I knew it was the worlds most popular sport.  However, I did not know that it grossed more money than any other sport combined.  Did you know that?!?
human
I did not, that is surprising because more affluent countries love other sports, but europe loves soccer, so I guess that makes sense
gpt
What do you consider a more affluent country to be?
human
Just a more wealthy and educated country I suppose. Soccer is popular because it is cheap to play and is not restricted like something like Hockey
gpt
I see, Hockey is starting to get more popular.  But I think what makes soccer so popular is because it's cheap to play.  Every single country plays soccer.  And all children are able to play it since it does not require a lot!
human
Exactly what I meant! And that is a good thing!
gpt
Yes, it is.  I guess that's why baseball was so popular in the US, it was so cheap and easy for the children to play!  Although now a bat costs so much money!!
human
that is true, soccer needs a ball and open space, that is pretty much it, although that is true for football too
gpt
Yes, but football requires a lot of protection - helmets, badding, etc.  Soccer is probably the most accessible sport there is.  Tennis might be right behind it - a racket and a ball :)
human
That is true, probably why 250 million people play soccer!
gpt
LOL, probably!  That is a large number!!
