I'm so happy Social Network didn't win best film. Such a shitty movie. It was like watching Argentina losing at soccer, I couldn't help but crack a smile.

No, but I'm used to calling it soccer when typing/speaking English. I was taught American English for years, it's much more common around here.

It's actually "futebol" in Portuguese. Fútbol is Spanish. ;)
