Ever been watching a soccer team, and found yourself wondering if they even knew what a goal looked like? Like all they needed to be a good team was a big flashcard of a goal and a 'KICK HERE ---->' sign? Maybe with a second sign saying 'HINT: ITS BEHIND THE GOALIE'?

In totally, absolutely unrelated news, my lunchtime sandwich shop was broadcasting the first half of the England vs. Trinidad match today. And I'm very, very glad I don't have money on either of these teams, because I'd be tearing my hair out.

The "kick here" sign should be on Eriksson's useless backside

'HINT: ITS BEHIND THE GOALIE'

Damn you for making me cackle at work. Now I have to cover it up by coughing loudly.

I'm not really allowed to say anything, because my spectator sport of choice is ice hockey -- which, really, is like soccer for people with ADD.

No matter what else you may say about it, [a] they know where the net is, [b] they manage to hit it more often than they do in soccer, even though the net is much much smaller and therefore the goalie covers a larger percentage of it with his big ol' body, and [c] they move around at 30mph. Just sayin'.

HEE! Jeff told me Trinidad tied in their first game, but I don't know what they are up to now. I am kinda rooting for them now that some of my family is from there. :)
