HOw's it going, do you follow football? The university of Iowa has a pink lockerroom for visiting teams
gpt
*lips slightly parted* Yes, I follow football somewhat.  I guess that's to psych out the opposing team.  lol. Did you know that back in the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football players?  My, how times have changed.
human
Bowling must of been pretty popular in the 1960s then, or football was really bad
gpt
True.  Good point.  Did you know that the highest score ever in a football game occurred in 1916 when Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland 222 to 0?
human
*sighs* It's too bad tv wasn't around back then to record Georgia Tech destroying Cumberland
gpt
*leans forward* That would have something to see.  Did you know that Americans call it "soccer" because it was slang for association football?
human
I had no clue, I did know soccer makes more than football, baseball, basketball, and Hockey combined
gpt
Yes, I heard that too.  I hear good things about soccer players.  Did you know that German soccer player Mesut Ozil donated his Eur300,000 World Cup victory bonus to pay for surgeries for 23 children in Brazil?  Wow, what a great person he is!
human
That's really nice, speaking of Brazil Jon Stewart played in the Maccabi games there in 1983
gpt
Yes, Jon Stewart was a skilled soccer player in college and represented the US there.
human
I wonder if Stewart ever played the version of soccer where 3 teams face off at the same time, sounds fun
gpt
I'm not sure, but I know that sounds very confusing to say the least.
human
Yea, so does Qatar hosting the 2022 world cup in a city that doesn't exist yet
gpt
That's kind of unexpected.  Did you know that the United States got 3rd place in the first FIFA World Cup in  1930?
human
No, that's pretty cool the US actually did good in the first World Cup
gpt
Also, the American team has never placed below 3rd place in the World Cup since women's World Cup started in 1991. What a record we have.
human
Not as good as Hungary losing only once since 1950-1956
gpt
True.  Funny but true is that there's no net economic gains for the countries that have played host to the Olympics or the World Cup.
human
Seems odd but makes sense for Qatar since they are building a city for their world cup
gpt
It's high on the priority list since the World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament in the world, as well as the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world.
