Forkers + Futbolito = Fun?

Futbolito Tournament, June 3

Any of you guys in the Metroplex interested in playing? I've got 3 confirmed, but we need 4 more. We're going for the "Adult Recreational" division so there aren't great expectations. C'mon chucklenuts, you know you want to play.

As the gov says, why the hell not?

I won't be back on the field until around september.

Let's put it this way.... the only time I played soccer in any kind of organized fashion, I was given the position of gaurdian.
That was in the second grade. It was years before I finally learned that there is no such position and that goalies are perfectly fine being left alone. They don't need someone to keep them company while the ball is at the other end of the field.

And I've since learned that hush puppies are inappropriate footwear for soccer.

Soccer is a sport that involves much running, yes? That means I am qualified for the position of enthusiastic spectator.

HAHA that's funny. And it was smart teacher to at least make you think you were involved.

Ha. I was a guard when I was a little kid, too. Our team had really good offense, so there was never any action on our end of the field, anyway. When there was, though, I was always distracting the goalie and other guard with my witty repartee. They enjoyed it until the coach yelled at us. My futball skills have since improved; I actually enjoy a friendly game in the park these days, when I can. Too bad I won't be there

Last summer I took a ball point blank to the nose (no Clueless jokes, please Dalya). It was forkerific. I rule.

Actually, that may have been two summers ago. In fact, it was. No matter. It was still hardcore.

My childhhood playing time consisted of following the little scrum around until the ball popped out near me and then kicking it as hard as I could in no particular direction. This kept me from getting kicked in the shins and had less running involved. I was also a terrible goalie for a while, mostly because I was usually the tallest kid on my team.

Will this strategy work for Futbolito?

[roach]

I played goalie under 6. we were good so it was just me and my two female fullbacks drawing in the dirt. one of those females went on to become a dallas cowboy cheerleader.

ro"i'm too afraid of the ball to be a goalie now days"ach

[betty brown]

I'll play in August when I come back from tour. we're gonna be called the forkers, yes? or something to that effect?

[aquaphase]

Any other Futbolito takers? We've almost got a full team that actually might have some decent talent. We probably won't win much (if at all), but it'll be a serious hoot.

[sam]

So, what does the official list look like?

[aquaphase]

Well, we kicked a lot of ass out there today. Sam even scored a goal (it still counts, even if it was an own-goal). Nearly everyone was injured in our first game against some monsters who apparently weren't aware that this thing was for fun, but we did win our first (of three) games by forfiet, so we weren't at the very bottom of our bracket.

Now, of course, I have a broken big toe on my right foot, so I'm waiting for the adrenaline to wear off and the hurting begin. At least I know how to self-medicate.
