input: Please answer the following: W: Football. M: Soccer or rugby? W: I prefer soccer. It's a splendid game. But, like most of us, I just watch it. I watch a soccer match nearly every Saturday afternoon either at the local stadium or on TV. What about you, John?Do you play football? M: I'm afraid not. And I don't watch it either. I know it's Britain's most popular outdoor game, but I never liked it, not even when I was at school. W: But don't you watch the Cup finals and the great international matches between British teams and other national teams? M: Very rarely. My favourite game is cricket. I used to be quite a good cricket player when I was at school and I've kept it up ever since. W: It's a very English game, isn't it? M: Yes, it is. It has become popular in the Commonwealth countries. Do you ever watch the matches between England and the other Commonwealth countries?They're very interesting and exciting. W: Yes, I watch them on TV. What was said before this conversation?
