    Could be. I have a brother who is not good at soccer either (but has a lot of athleticism and can run for hours) and when he went to Texas in 2012 he said he was one of the best on the field. He is better than I am, but that story tells you a lot about average play level. 

    Well if he had just used an oblong ball here it would have been a different story.??

    Of course. We don't know how to throw a baseball or a oblong ball. I know the theory, but I don't have a garden, so I can't practise throwing the football in my freetime.

    There's baseball in Spain, but it is marginal sport, so I would say most of us don't even know how to throw a baseball.

    Why would you want to tromp all over your vegetables and flowers by playing in your garden?   Use the lawn in your back yard.

    Lol, I meant lawn. I don't have one hah. And here we call it what would be translated into "garden".

    Well, maybe that is good for the health of your nation, because one thing is certainly true about throwing a baseball.   It is an unnatural motion that puts a ton of stress on the elbow and shoulder.  And it leads to many injuries in those areas of the body.

    You mean the Spanish word for "lawn"  translates to "garden"?  What is that word? 

    Also....then...as a non-Akronite  I won't disclose to you what a devil strip is.

    No it was 100% a guess. I'd never heard of the term until you said it. I just used context clues....

    Or, maybe  it was in the back of your mind somewhere, and when it was mentioned here it slipped to the front of your mind. 

    Nevertheless....as noted,  it was pretty much exclusively and Akron thing because,   aren't you originally from like a Cleveland area suburb?  And you say you have never heard of it.      So, it was not a Cleveland thing, or Columbus or elsewhere.   (however, I do think that someone....here or elsewhere, like on Facebook, said they were from Toledo and that the term was used there some).

    No. I mean that when we talk about the lawn we usually call it "jardín", which translates to garden. We simplify it by using that therm, no matter if it has flowers making it an actual garden or not. "lawn" translates to "césped" and is a term we use more specific contexts. For example in football. Like, you know, real football 😉

    Correct, Cleveland suburbs. That's why I use tree lawn

    Which makes about as much sense sense as utility runs where I grew up meant no trees could be planted there.

    Although, come to think of it, in old neighborhoods like Grandma and Grandpa Tour's in Brooklyn, Ohio... there were huge tree-lawn trees busting up sidewalks and busting out curbs...

    I have never heard the term "lawn" used in regard to either football or soccer.  In football it is a "field" in soccer I have seen "pitch" used. (not sure how that particular reference came about).    Only time I have heard "lawn" used is in tennis, when they play it on grass, like Wimbledon.  I think maybe they use "lawn" in croquet as well.

    I know in some areas  the "tree lawns"  do in fact have trees.  Sometimes devil strips can be very wide, others very narrow.  Mine is about average, but no trees.  Street lamps, yes.  And, to me  Devil strip is the natural term.   Saying tree lawn to me is an un-natural as calling my yard a "garden". 😁
