Dwarves would play for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Grond could play for the St Louis Rams (get it? ram?). Also, Aragorn would play for whoever wins the Super Bowl each year because he can't lose (though, he might choose to play hockey with the NY Rangers).

I imagine Gandalf would choose to play basketball, for the Washington Wizards of course.

PS I've played plenty of soccer and I really like it, so don't get me wrong, but football is the most wonderful sport in the world! Tolkien didn't mention it because it's popularity hadn't grown yet. If he were alive today I'm sure he'd say that football is "The Lord of the Sports".
