Talking of playing in New York, I stumbled across this pitch the other day.

Would be awesome to play soccerball with the Empire State as your backdrop imo.

It's a girl's sport, mm.

I can see a D marked out in the foreground, suggesting looking at the pitch from the sideline rather than a goal line?

[Chief Arrowhead]

That's a semicircular spheroid area. If you score from there you get 2 points.

Just a bit of self-mocking my fellow countrymen, Eaa. To be serious (for a second) it is common for two smaller pitches to run the opposite way for the young tykes inside the "big" pitch for the oldsters. That's why the lines are yellow instead of white.

not one practiced in England during the 1970s when I well remember playing on full size pitches, with full size goals, on the sides of quite steep hills sometimes.

Although only slightly minor as her surname was too long to fit on the boarding card they printed at the airport. Not an issue if you print out at home, but you have to get a special stamp to confirm the rest of your name beyond the limitations of the boarding card. 20 bloody characters in her surname, if only there was some way to solve that.

She is worse than most, though, your other half. As normally they stop at two surnames.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

So it is effectively 3 surnames.

I still have some work to do on convincing her to do it the British way. It doesn't help that my surname isn't exactly attractive.
