ReAL Soccer!

I have a new sport to love.... soccer. Its true. I have been invited by some dear friends the past few years to join them every now and again at the games for the Real team. This is pre-new stadium days. And while it was fun to go to the games and watch, I didn't really fall in love with it until today. See- we've made it to the playoffs and won our first game against Chivas, a team out of L.A. I went to the game and literally yelled til my voice is hoarse! Who knew soccer was that addicting? I told my sister earlier that its no wonder they riot in other countries! So while I don't understand all the ins and outs (dad- why weren't we watching soccer growing up?!!?), I'll be ready for next season...oh yes- season ticket holder, right here! More to come!
PS- might I suggest taking a good look at the roster? Wingert makes it much easier to sit through a game... and Olave...and even Beckerman. :)
