Todd: Sarah , so what sports do you like?

Sarah: My favorite spectator sport is football. I support Newcastle United in England.

Todd: Newcastle United.

Sarah: Newcastle United, Yeah.

Todd: Are they a good team?

Sarah: Um, yeah, I think they're pretty good. They finished fifth in the premiereship this year,
so they're near the top.

Todd: OK, so right now we have the Euro cup. And last night England played.

Sarah: They did

Todd: Yeah, did you see the game?

Sarah: Ah, no I was going to watch it tonight actually in Shibuya but I'm thinking maybe not now
because we lost on penalties.

Todd: Yeah, what was the score?

Sarah: Ah, the final score was 2 all (2-2) and then it went to penalties and I think it was 6-4.
So England always lose on penalties.

Todd: They always lose on penalties?

Sarah: Yeah

Todd: Well, sorry. Maybe in the World Cup, next time.

Sarah: Maybe. Maybe. Yeah.

Todd: Now do you ever play football?

Sarah: No, I've never played.

Todd: Never

Sarah: Never played, no.

Todd: OK. Do you ever go and watch games in Newcastle?

Sarah: Um, it's very difficult to watch games in Newcastle because it's a big club and it's Premiereship
and you have to book in advance quite a few years but I've seen some first division football clubs
play against each other.

Todd: You have to get tickets two years in advance?

Sarah: For the big clubs, yeah. They're booked up.

Todd: That's pretty intense. So when there's a game on TV then what do you do? Do you watch it at home? Do you go to a pub?

Sarah: Ah, it depends on the game. I like it and I like Premeireship football, and I like World Cup football
and Euro 2000 but I wouldn't watch particularly a first division game on the television, but normally I would go to the pub with friends and watch the game.

Todd: Do you think that athletes make to much money?

Sarah: I think footballers do. Yeah, I think they do. I think they do a good job but I think they're incredibly overpaid.

Todd: Yeah, I think it is the same thing in the states. I think they make too much money.
