YET ANOTHER "summer of soccer" is upon us. The Confederations Cup, a dry run for next year's World Cup, is already under way in Russia, and the Gold Cup, a tournament of teams in North and Central America and the Caribbean, is set to kick off on July 7. For U.S. fans who aren't die-hard but might be tempted to watch, there's nothing like a parlor game to help spur interest. Break out your remote, and see if you hear four uniquely soccer terms in a row.
