Bend it like... Kwesell?

So my professor's son is 11 and really into soccer (although, because I'm in the UK I should probably say football). And when I say really into I mean obsessed with it.  Like he has 12 soccer jerseys, follows nearly ever team in the world, knows all the players and their stats, practices nonstop and can tell you anything about the game anytime, anywhere, kind of obsessed! I've learned a lot from him so far. He mostly just shows me youtube clips of attractive football players scoring goals and taking their shirts off though, so the only thing I've really learned is that I need to watch more football! But, because he loves soccer so much he decided to organize a tournament for all us study abroaders.  Now I have never been good at soccer. When I was younger I played a bit but I'm told I preferred to play on the sidelines and look at dandelions, and there goes my soccer career. So when the kids placed me on their team for the tournament I was more than a little intimidated. I was not alone, however. We have some athletes on the trip but I think the majority of the group prefers reading to sports! The tournament was actually really fun though! We got a bunch of food and had a picnic with everyone and ate food and played soccer (some better than others). A bunch of people bought Pimm's to make Pimm's and lemonade and would release their "Pimm-dorphins" when they scored a goal... the games got progressively shorter and more entertaining as the evening continued! The sad thing is, I'm a bit sore and exhausted right now even though I played goalie for the majority of the time. Looking forward to showering, chugging a water bottle and going to bed before an early morning and London tomorrow!
