"I've never been to a football game" (asistir) or "I've never played in a football game" (although better "I've never played football") are ok, but "I've never been in a football game" sounds wrong.

Quote:
American English equivalents: I've never played soccer. I've never played a soccer game. I've never played in a soccer game. I've never been in a soccer game. The last sentence could mean that you didn't actually play the game, but you were with/among the players. |
