I'm curious - in which country is "football" used as the name of a sport
that doesn't involve feet? I know of many countries where "football"
refers to a sport where the use of hands is prohibited, and others where
it's allowed, but I'm not aware of any where the use of feet to kick the
ball is prohibited.
