This gets complicated. The Euros call soccer "football", the English have
rugby, and American football is, I believe, some variant of rugby. At any rate,
with body contact, an eliptical ball and kicking the ball between the goal
posts. Can you provide some details as to what this really is?

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. Is this _beer_, or some kind
of champagne? I was talking about a dark beer traditionally brewed in the
Rheinland in Germany.
