AP and I do not follow football — unless there’s a tournament. And England is playing in the European football championship so we headed off to the neighborhood pub to get the full experience: the large screen TV; the cheers and jeers of the local crowd; the smell of cigarette smoke wafting through the patio doors; pints of lager and ale sitting on the bar.
So while I know very little about soccer…er…football, it’s nice to be in on it with everyone else and to share in the event with the neighborhood. Go England!
I have tried, and tried to get it. I even watched three entire World Cup games once. It is so boring to me. Run down the field, kick, kick, kick, and no score. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Now rugby, that’s a game. Big strong men, in a huddle pushing against each other… oh, I’m getting the vapors.
