#really tho i thought the aftg depictions of sports fandoms must be inaccurate until i started stalking women’s soccer tumblr

[hopexhappiness]

So fair warning, the girl I like is really obsessed with women’s soccer, Arsenal WFC to be specific, and I keep (obviously) letting her rant about her obsession to me and send me pictures of Malin Gut (and telling me how she’ll fly me out to Europe to go to a game and help her date Malin Gut, which like *happy gay noises* but also *frustrated by my both my and her’s usless lesbianness that she has no clue and keeps talking about her crushes*. The problem here is I know nothong about soccer/football. I keep calling it sportsball cus she’s earopean and lives in the US so I don’t know if I will be mocked for saying soccer and also I feel as though “sportsball” communicates my lack of knowledge fairly well. The only sport I know anything about is Exy. Help? I want to both impress her and understand what they hell she’s talking about!
