Because we thought it was "football" and taken by surprise when we got there and found out it was actually "kickball", a game us Yanks played in elementary school. So it's a bit of nostalgia for us, brings back childhood memories of games we played without risk of injury, like most girls sports.

And it gives us an opportunity to interface with the brits and ask them long unanswered questions.
