Cultural Interpretations!

So, I was reading kroki_refur 's episode review of doom on 4x19 (Jump the Shark), because I find them amusing...and she talked about Sam saying that John may have "slipped one past the goalie"

Then she goes on to say how much she loves the fact that Sam made a football (soccer) reference and how it's continuity with the fact that Sam played soccer when he was 12 or whatever...

But dudes! I thought it was a hockey reference! I've ALWAYS thought that was a hockey reference!! MY MIND IS BLOWN!

Canadian!Me: There are other sports besides hockey?!!?
Well-Traveled!Me: My goodness...I'm Canadian.

...

What did YOU picture, hockey or soccer? (Uh, not counting those of you who just pictured the actual process of making a baby and didn't pay attention to the sports metaphor...)

I'm not Canadian and I thought it was hockey. In fact, while I was reading this post I kept going back and thinking "So, where was the soccer reference?" *headdesk* Goalies, soccer. Got it.

Of course, I live in Northern Wisconsin so I'm not sure that gives me that different of a cultural perspective.

So, so far people who live in the northern states are thinking about hockey...hmm...well, maybe it's a "cold climate" thing and not just a Canada thing...or maybe it's a "close to Canada" thing :-P

Still, nice to know I'm not alone in not thinking about soccer AT ALL.
