Do you pay attention to soccer, or association football?

I love watching the world cup - though I am not sure about the next world cup being in qatar
human
Apparently the city doesn't even exist yet!
gpt
That is true!  The US got 3rd place in the first world cup but have not done that good since!
human
Not the same for the Women's World Cup. The American team hasn't placed below third place since 1991.
gpt
*relaxed posture* Yes they are much better!  It is expensive to host a cup but countries do it anyway - even though there is no economic gain
human
I would imagine because soccer is such a popular sport. it's played in over 200 countries by 250 million people.
gpt
yes it is super popular.  The Hungary team only had one loss between 50-56 and that was a world cup final!  They must have been really godo
human
Yeah, it's so popular that it makes more money than all of the other major sports combined!
gpt
That is pretty insane.  The players can be pretty generous though - a german player donated his entire victory bonus to pay for surgeries for 23 brazilian children
human
That is generous. Isn't it funny that Jon Stewart used to play soccer?
gpt
*takes a step forward* He does not seem the type but he was really good in college!
human
He was on the American team in the Maccabi Games in Brazil in the early 80s.
gpt
*eyes widen* Have you ever heard of the variation of the game where 3 teams play each other at the same time?
human
I can't even imagine the purpose of that!
gpt
It sounds really challenging though!   Perhaps John Stewart would play it on his show!
human
It seems so silly that Americans got the name "soccer" from Association Football.
gpt
Yes well it is definitely different than American football!  We definitely score more - one team won 222-0!
human
Well, right, but soccer is called football everywhere else. I wonder why we changed the name.
gpt
I am not sure.  Rugby football is another type of football as well
