Yes, they call it soccer and we call it football. Therefore, I called it football. I was encouraged to be authentic in my delivery and questioning of the guests just as I would back home, so that didn't change, but it did make for some amusing translations off camera to some of my American colleagues.
The biggest difference was getting used to the bizarre time zone and schedule. Who wakes up to watch a football match at 6am? Beer for breakfast? Surely not. Well, when the Fox Sports studios are based in Los Angeles, thousands of miles from host country Germany, that's what time a UK 2pm kick off was.
