The irony is that "soccer" is almost uniquely American. Pretty-much everywhere else it's called "football" (or some translation thereof).

It's true, then? Lance left his wife, who saw him through his cancer, so he could date a rock star? Figures, for a bicyclist shilling for a motorcar company which prides itself on the ability of its products to hurtle through nature's splendor.
