What happens with 30 ppl and a football.

I have heard people say -Football was never my cup of tea. In my case football was always after the cup of tea (or what was supposed to be tea). Every evening, after sipping a cuppa hot water (read tea) and swallowing down snacks, we used to go out to play what everyone else called football and we called it, well foot on the ball.
