For those of you who enjoy football wizardry (that's soccer to you ex-colonials) check this out.

This kid, Neymar Da Silva, plays for Santos FC and is reportedly going to be picked up by Real Madrid C.F.

I think his transfer fee just went up a tad...

Did you know that the word soccer was originally a British term for the sport and was picked up by the Ivy League (or maybe it was just New England) back in the early days of the sport? Some sort of bastardization of the word "association."

'Cause I believe everything Wiki says.

And that's all I know about the sport except footballers/soccer guy players have great legs.
