This little story might give you Europeans a chuckle (or any non-Americans).
While pulling out of the parking lot (that's "car park" for you Brits), I noticed a couple dozen people at the fence of our University's intramural soccer ("football" to the rest of you non-Americans) field.
I asked out the window, what was going on. The reply I got was "Chelsea is practicing!"
"Ah," I thought, and drove off, wondering who the hell was Chelsea, and why did so many people care if she was practicing? The only famous Chelsea I could think of was Chelsea Clinton, and I didn't think she played soccer.
The next day, I ran into another small crowd on the way to my car on the other side of the field. I asked what was going on.
"Chelsea's practicing" to my blank stare..."Do you know who Chelsea is?" Shook my head. "Only of the greatest soccer team in England!"
Ah, that makes more sense.
So I brought my camera and took a few pictures. Can someone tell me who these players might be?
Apparently, they're enjoying Los Angeles, since they can walk down the street without being mobbed, according to people watching. Since most people here have no idea who the hell they are.
