Above is a video of two steam powered trains driving through the soccer field (only stupid furriners call it football) of the amateur soccer team in Jánošovka, Slovakia. That's the home field of the local team, TJ Tatran Čierny Balog. The train tracks run between the field and the grandstands. As you can see, the game continues as the trains chug past the match.
You may think it's odd, but, as I've mentioned before, one of my ancestral homelands is Slovakia so it all seems perfectly normal to me.
Edit to add -- the video below is longer and shows more of the route, but you need to go to YouTube to watch it.

Soccer is originally an English term
True, but I bet if you called in soccer in England you would get a load of grief. When jousting with soccer fans over their sport I point out that opposable thumbs are a mark of humans, so not using them in your sport is pre-caveman thinking. Eh, sports debates never make a lick of sense anyway.
