Big into football, men's, women's, professional, non-league, you name it ! (soccer for the Americans here). Being from the UK it's everywhere and something I missed living in other countries.
Everyone I knew growing up would know things about football, whether they liked it or not, things like the top teams in the Premier League or names of some players. Every village with more than 30 people living in it has its own team and the amateur scene is the most developed in the world. It's so present in the country.
When living in Prague it was very alien to me that only a few people would know things about football (however they all were ice hockey crazy!) and it was something else that compounded onto the culture shock a bit. Trying to find a local team to go and watch was just not something that could be done, whereas in the UK turning up to any local football pitch on a Sunday is almost guaranteed to have some sort of organised match going on.
I now treat it as something that's a bit comforting/nostalgic/familiar I guess. A way to connect back to the UK even though, where I live now, it's much closer in terms of sports culture to what I'm used to!
