Boy, those are six words I never thought would appear on this site! Honestly, I know very little about football except that the ball is brown, they play for three minutes and stand around for twenty. Come to think of it, it sounds like my kind of sport!<\/p>\n

If you’re interested in making your own there’s a tutorial here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
