Here in the USA, everyone knows baseball, whether they follow it or not. But baseball metaphors find their way into everyday life.
One such is "getting to first base", or "getting to second base" in the dating world. Second base being, say, getting under the bra.
But it occurs to me that in some lands, where soccer is king, the game is not so incremental as baseball, and so the base metaphor doesn't work. I could see maybe some application of "I got a red card last night", but am unsure of that. SO in places like, oh I don't know, Sudan, Myanmar, Albania, Terabithia, the dating pressures are likely similar.
SO in those places and places like them, where do young hopefuls "get to"?
