(1) If you are a soccer fan from the United States and you begin to watch European soccer on television, you almost have to learn a whole new language. (2) Even when the coverage is in English, there is an intriguing amount of linguistic variety in the descriptions of the sport. (3) First of all, many people know that the sport is only called soccer in the United States. (4) Elsewhere, the game is called football, which is logical since it is played primarily by moving the ball with your feet. (5) In the United States, soccer players wear a shirt called a jersey and shoes called cleats. (6) In England and other parts of the United Kingdom, players wear a kit and boots. (7) A soccer game is not called a game in the United Kingdom; it's called a match. (8) Also, the match is not played on a field; it's played on a pitch. (9) In the United Kingdom, when neither team scores, the score is reported as nil-nil, not zero to zero. (10) These are just a few examples of the linguistic challenges that you will face if you begin to follow European soccer. (11) However, it is worth the learning curve just to watch this beautiful game. In context, what is the best way to combine sentences 5 and 6, reproduced below? In the United States, soccer players wear a shirt called a jersey and shoes called cleats. In England and other parts of the United Kingdom, players wear a kit and boots. A.
