Sorry to go off on a tangent, but is football really called "footy" in Canada? I've only ever heard the word "footy" used to refer to Australian Rules Football¹, which is played with with an oval ball (similar to the balls used for rugby or American football). I apologize but I thought football was called soccer in Canada, like it is in the US.
