Well said.
About “American” football (as it is known outside of the United States):
Are you aware the ball is in play for only 11 minutes or less as these ninnies dress in bulletproof costumes and crash helmets? And folks pay a zillion dollars to attend 11 minutes of this?
I love soccer (officially known as “Association Football”).
I have just changed into my fire retardant suit.
My best regareds to you, bobjam.
Uhm, actually, according to reliable statistics, it's 13 minutes, or even a little more. Great game armpitball!
Soccer and football are for wimps. Rugby is a real man’s game. All the violence for football with out the pads and the continual play of soccer. But the real action is in the stands where there more injuries than on the fields.
To each his own, but I can take it or mostly leave it. I would also say that some of the refereeing in the tournament so far has been atrocious.
Of course you do.....You live in the country that gave us Ismael Laguna and Roberto Duran. Even tho I'm not a soccer fan, I'd love nothing better than to be in C.A. during the World Cup and get caught up in the excitement amongst a population that lives for soccer.
I had that pleasure back in the early '90's I think when I was vacationing in Honduras at the time the World Cup was going on.........
As a side note, my brother-in-law is from Honduras. Back around 1982 or '84 his nephew was asked to play on the Honduran national soccer team but he had to decline because he had just entered medical school.........
We've spoken before, I was stationed on Flamenco Island from 11/69 to approx. 5/70 then Ft. Clayton till 1/72..........
Here's another side note. My cousin, who I previously informed you bought property in Bocas del Toro and built a house on one of the archipelago islands, is now managing a small place just north of Panama City on Contadora Island.......
