In times past, a soccer fan would know who a player was simply from his shirt number (they didn't always have the player's name on them), and it was simple to know that if you saw #3 on the right hand side of the opponents' penalty box, then your left back must have gone wondering out of position. Nowadays, in a team of 11 players, you might have #37 at left back, #84 in the old #9's position, and a #17 in goal. It's just silly.
Another thing Bush could borrow from football players is the whole 2-digit-number-that-adds-up-to-a-single-digit, i.e. "23" 2+3= 5.
Bush could learn something from those footballers overseas.
I suspect that that piece of mathematical gymnastics is lost on most football players, on either side of the Atlantic!
