The mystery of Soccer


I think that the hottest and also most widely used statement in the city of Valdosta is " I just don't understand Soccer at all." While you might at first think that Valdostans are in fact truly stupid and can't comprehend the complexity of a game with two goals, two teams and he who scores the most wins this is not in fact the case at all. It is actually a well known yet unspoken rule that if you show any comprehension or interest in Soccer that you immediately drop one class level. Actually showing understanding of Soccer might also show that you don't love other much less complex sports such as Baseball and Football with all you heart and soul. This is a risk that most people are not willing to take. I guess I will admit that Soccer can be a bit confusing for newcomers to the sport I mean two goals, two teams, offsides, whistles, goals, forwards and halftimes these are some pretty weird terms for a sporting events.

Put a DUH by my name. I never understood everything about the game. I just ran up and down the field with my boby trying to help them get the ball down the field. Wish I could see Bryce play. I know he is good. Good to see you blogging. LOVE YOU ma
