My brother and his family played a round of soccer golf last week. It looked fun. We were going to try to play today. Bellana is here and we were going to borrow Harry for a while and it was going to be fun. Unfortunately the place is booked with a corporate event today and we can’t go.
Fail.
So we’re going to have a cookout instead. So what if it’s not what we planned originally. All four of us are going to be together. That’s what matters.
I don’t mean to be a snooty American, but right now I just can’t help it.
The USA has been eliminated from the World Cup, right? Can we go back to ignoring soccer for another four years? I know that the rest of the world lives and dies by soccer but… Urgh! It’s so desperately dull! It makes watching American football players standing in a huddle while the game clock ticks away seem utterly thrilling.
The worst part is listening to the pompous asses talk about how uncivilized we are for not giving a rats ass about the latest one to nil after penalty kicks decision where half the players in the match commit Greg Luganis (sp? Sorry, Greg) caliber dives that make even P K Subban roll his eyes in disgust.
As my very good, lifelong friend Larry said today when an email conversation turned to soccer, “Piss Off!”
