 A related question is 'What is football?'. This is an international
list, so someone from the USA would play a very different football to
a European, but a similar game to Rugby football, which is similar
again to Gaelic football, none of which are very like Aussie rules
football.

 Is there an R expert system package that can ask questions like "Is
the ball round?" "Are the games 10 seconds of action followed by 5
minute discussions?" and end up deciding what kind of football it is?

 I suspect Srinivasa means soccer (round ball, game of two halves,
mainly kicking).

 Dunno if this has any bearing on the analysis though!
