Left over Asian spicy chicken and rice.

Our soccer adventure went well. We moved from the cheap seat bleachers to some comfortable ones. The teams tied so they used penalty kicks to determine the winner.

Things I have come to like about soccer is that it is a continuous activity for 90 minutes (usually), and normal sized people are playing. American, so-called, football's final 2 minutes can last for an hour...LOL!!

Did you win in penalties or lose?

In England, it's traditional to lose every single time... 🙂

Lost.

Yes, I was watching England last week and their famous player, Harry Kane, made one penalty kick, but failed on the next to win.

The successful teams like Miami with Lionel Messi appear to me as an inexperienced observer, is where everyone knows their role is either to feed the ball to him or be in position to score in case he misses. He is an excellent passer as well, which does not get the glory, but is just as important of a skill as scoring.

My grandson is just naturally athletic and has an instinct of where to be, where the ball is, and where his teammates are as well. I'm just supporting his efforts and making sure he has the best opportunities to enjoy and be as successful as he decides he wants to be. I thought going to a professional match would be a part of his educational experience.

Ah I see I thought he might have been playing. Going to see a game is definitely a great way to encourage his love of the game. That's nice that you have a local club you can support.

Messi is indeed a wonderful player although for a little treat he should look up the real 'Ronaldo' who came before the current Ronaldo. He'll be able to find him on YouTube. He was probably my favourite player. My wife watched him play at Manchester United when he came with Real Madrid in the Champions League and the scored 3 goals and got a standing ovation from the United fans. She says she's never seen a better player and she's a bit football bonkers!
