We were on a trip in Scotland and walking through a somewhat shady neighbourhood. These 2 kids were walking towards us and randomly passed a football to me, expecting me to pass it back.
Is this a usual occurrence? I have never had this happen in my country but I have seen it done for videos. I’m asking about the UK specifically because I feel like you guys have an interesting street football culture. Maybe I’m wrong and this is a normal thing in lots of countries.
Happens a lot in Liverpool. You are also allowed to say “go 'ed lad, giz a header!” and they are obliged by tradition to punt it to you but you’d better be sure you can nod it in or they’ll follow down the street calling you all sorts.

Second this, in fact round my way you just need to make eye contact and a nod to anyone with a footy and you’re in the game.
