Tomorrow as the U.S. faces Britain I will hopefully make it home from my mountain mama interview to watch the game -- or at least fall asleep watching it!

Football Madness!
This weekend my "shadowboxer" (Clint's term) is trading in the gloves for some boots. A nice kit, some sunscreen, and a size 1 (if such a thing exists) soccer ball. Maybe hackey-sack size is more like it. That's right! It's World Cup time and lucky for me, most of the jerseys I have (Ireland, Italy, LA Galaxy, U.S.) still fit enough to wear. They're snug and in a few weeks they probably won't, but by then all of my teams will probably be eliminated. By the quarterfinals I'll need to get myself a large Dutch jersey... or maybe Spain, Brazil or Argentina. I like the blue and white stripes with the sun, very classy.

kelly, you should know better than most that the US played ENGLAND. not Britain :) you know, st george and all that. we had fun watching the game at the pub. supporting england, you know since we are still part of the commonwealth here in canada. but what a blunder by the keeper! anyway, we are happy for world cup too!! signing off from alberta (where i don't think anyone will be taking off work at noon tomorrow to watch italy...)
ReplyDeleteA TIE! Phew--face saving for the US and red faces for England!
ReplyDeleteso does the Wee One have a team preference?
Maybe I need to return to Italy and get a tiny Italia shirt?
:-)
I'd love to HAVE to go for that little errand
