        @neiltyson Interestingly, there are some universal hand gestures that work across languages and across 20 yards of pitch.

        @neiltyson Burden used to be on players to learn expletives native to ref. But in 2006 FIFA started requiring refs to speak English.

        @neiltyson @TheTweetOfGod If they were smart, sir, they would use a language that the Ref doesn't understand at all. #YellowCard is better.
