Soccer? Who watches soccer? The only soccer I know is what I did to my ex-wife.
Perhaps the proverbial breadcrumbs of a secret admirer. Be careful.
I asked my buddy (now deceased) who was into full contact karate to many questions one day and he wanted to show me a few things, so I (with protective gear) let him. The guy could kick like the proverbial mule.
Morning Legionnaires!
52° this morning with light winds. 85° with sunny skies expected.
Renewing tags on my hooptie this morning then on to the gym to play Mr Miyagi for an hour or so. My student has not sparred in a while so, I will put on my protective gear and give her a target to beat up.
Yoos guys enjoy your day and Be Careful Out There.
I'd bet many more in US more watch Euro soccer than people in Euro watch NFL. I for one watch 10X EPL over NFL.
I have never watched a soccer game in my life.
I have not either. I do not know the rules.
< - played soccer in high school and club football (soccer) in Germany. I follow Bundesliga and Austin FC, although not nearly as closely as college football and basketball.
I HAVE watched a soccer game, but I'm sure the D-League will forgive me when you hear the circumstances. When I was living in South Florida in 77-78 there was a soccer team called the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers who played in the old Lockhart Stadium best recalled as the scene of Yankees spring training games in that era.
I do not dislike soccer or have any bias against it, I just have never been exposed to it. When I was in high school no one had ever heard of the sport to speak of. It was some foreign game much like cricket, another sport I have no idea how to play.
Yep, soccer is something beyond my understanding. Heck, where I grew up in a rural atmosphere in a small school, football wasn't even a thing, let alone soccer.
I played football in high school. I got a broken arm and nose. After the broken nose and being out for three plays my mom ended my football career in my junior year.
Guilty. As I look back on that night, I trust they actually did play a soccer game though if someone had stopped me on the way out and asked me who won I'd have had no idea. I spent all my time drinking beer and roaming through the crowd, enjoying the scenery.
When I was a kid, right before the baseball season started, our catcher broke his leg. Nobody would volunteer to catch, so the manager told us the team would have to be disbanded. Though I loved 3B, I immediately volunteered to catch. Mom didn't like that idea, but dad and I won that discussion and I really enjoyed catching, but was glad to go back to 3B the next year.
You've missed a whole lot of talented athletes. Their ball control is amazing. At pro level, very tough game.
I'm the exception then. When son played for a couple years in 80's, I studied the rules and became a poor ref to help the league. Then really got into it 25-30 years ago. CFB is only thing I watch more. I've gone to matches in England & Spain.

My student is also a gymnast and has very strong legs. She tries to control her kicks but does not have that control yet. I have taken a few shots that stayed with me for a week or so (rib area) but did not have the protective gear on at that time. Today was rather light but I told her Thursday would be more intense.
I played in Germany as well. Well, at it. Joined a city league and was on a team that was just being nice to me. I played if we had a sizable lead.
I played with myself a lot when I was growing up, now my eyesight is going. Mom was right.
🤪
Speaking of ball control...never mind. Heh, heh, heh.
My dad used to call the sickle an "idiot stick". guess who got to be the idiot most of the time?
Morning Legionnaires!
54° this morning with the high headed for the mid to upper 80's. Still no rain so, I have not cut the grass for a couple of weeks, and it still looks almost freshly cut. Will just knock down a few of weeds with a swing sickle and be done. Probably just have one more cut before the season ends.
Semi busy day to day. Working out this morning, walking the monster after, then dusting and vacuuming the house. Have 2 softball games tonight, 6:30 and 8:30 game times.
Going fishing tomorrow late morning to early afternoon. Supposed to be the best times during the fall. We shall see.
May God Bless you all today and keep you safe. For those hurting may take away the pain and calm the waters.
Ya'll be cool.
