While watching the exciting England-Italy football match last night (the semifinal at the UEFA European championships which England won 2-1 in extra time), my son Miles, my daughter Luisa, and I had fun turning the whole world of football and its discourses on its head. We called the players we were watching "regular" football and discussed all the ways that it is superior to the "irregular" football that some people claim to prefer. We also came up with another way to discuss the two types of football: the superior "estrofootball" and the inferior "testofootball". While we will continue to follow "testofootball", we're looking forward to more excellent "estrofootball" in the future. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 23 July2025)
