Well they play with a ball , using their foot, therefore: Football. Why the quotes and the ahem*?

Could be because the term "football" would probably be interpreted as what Brits call "American football" by the majority of AOLers.

Re:I live in Amsterdam

Actually, Eindhoven, which is very close to Amsterdam for the geographically challenged. ;-)

Unless you're Dutch, in which case it's on the opposite side of the country ;) I live there too, near the end of Stratumseind (which has mixed blessings if you enjoy having a drink or two).

For me LSL was the first game I bought when I started messing around with pc's. Oh, the fond childhood memories of VGA boobies... *sentimental sigh*

My mate's older brother had LSL for his Tandy when I was 9 or 10, he thought that the age check would keep us out but we were determined to see the hooker scene (even though we didn't quite know what that meant), so we spent several evenings doggedly learning all the answers by trial and error while he was down at the pub. I learned what 'rubbers' and 'prophylactics' were from playing that game.

Not for the Germans!
