Soccer’s not as cool as football, but I’ll do my best. So you’ve got two teams, one ball, and a field with two nets at either end. You score goals by kicking the ball across the field into the other teams net, while they try to do the same to you. [It isn’t John’s first time describing sports to people from other galaxies, and soccer isn’t the worst. No one believes him when he explains golf.]
Players can be offense, trying to make goals, or defense, defending against goals. A forward is a striker in military terms, if you’re more familiar with those. [Something tells him Poe is. He’s too handy with a weapon not to be, and soldier recognizes soldier. There’s an alertness about Poe that doesn’t speak to a civvy.]
Pegasus Galaxy. Nowhere in particular. [Even here, he’s still hesitant to namedrop Atlantis.] Can’t say I’ve heard of Yavin 4, but they’d probably have a hell of a soccer team.
