This is a big deal. Last night we played Bahrain in a 90-minute nail-biter for a spot in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. We came out ahead with a 1-0 score. It's the first time since 1982 our soccer team the All Whites has qualified.
I'm the first to admit I don't know much about soccer, but these goalkeepers have to have nerves of steal. Ours blocked a penalty kick that would have completely changed the game. You probably know that in soccer, a tie game with a score actually lands in favour of the visiting team. That was news to me.

It's probably good that your apparent lack of soccer knowledge has only manifest post-marriage. With Jake, that might have been a deal breaker had he known up front.
Don't feel bad if you feel you don't know much about soccer; your heightened sense of enthusiasm makes up for it. Jake surely takes that into consideration :)
