Messi is the Toy Story of soccer.

*football (you know, the game you play with your foot and a ball)
Could you be more specific? Do you mean rugby football? Gridiron football? Gaelic football?
Oh! Maybe you meant association football. But that's kind of long-- maybe we can just say "asoc football" to save time.
Actually now that I think of it, people just say "rugby" instead of "rugby football," so maybe we can drop the "football" part as well, and just say "asoc."
There we go, now we have a nice, unambiguous way to refer to the style of football that we're interested in. Now I just hope the school children don't mess it up the way they did with rugby, calling it "rugger..."
If one of those types of football was by far the most popular sport in the world we might just call it "football" without any qualifier.
