Abstract
- As our train wound its way out of London and back into the countryside, the football fans dwindled in number until the only passenger who was left wearing an NFL jersey was me. In the grand scheme of things, it wouldn't have mattered too much if they had lost; the purpose of the day was to see what the NFL was like in London and to introduce my dad to the game I love, as he had introduced me to soccer when I was a little boy. For a moment, two worlds collided, with the NFL fans talking about their game and the soccer fans talking about theirs - never the twain to meet. He had never watched an NFL game in his life, let alone in person, and the sport that he does watch religiously - soccer - is different in a number of pretty important ways.
