[And this earns a big grin from Jecht. He loves it when people compliment his sport.]
"Yeah, it takes a lot of practice just to be able to kick hard enough to get the ball to even get near the goal. Plus, normally you're dodgin' defenders who're tryin' to tackle you, all underwater. Gotta have a lot of endurance to hold your breath through all that."
[He'll float there nostalgically as he describes the old Zanarkand stadium.]
"Blitz stadiums are huge. Imagine a huge metal frame with a giant ball of water suspended in the middle - that's the field. The players play inside that with one goal in the middle of each end, so there's even more places to move than here. You can knock people out of it, too, so it gets pretty rough. The pool doesn't really compare at all."
