Yikes! "match?" Not exactly sports enthusiasts around here, are we?
True, the rest of the world's "football" plays 'matches' ... on a 'pitch' for that matter. 8^) But, stateside. the wonderful athletic competition we, here, defiantly refer to as 'football' plays "games." Same applies to the other 3 major team sports--- baseball, basketball, and hockey *games*. "Match" is generally reserved for Boxing, wrestling(both the real and fake kind), tennis, and other 1 on 1 combat style sports.
No harm done. Just thought I'd bring that semantic issue to your attention. 8^)
