Just for fun

 

I think you will find these funny, regardless of your sports preferences (or lack of).  On another blog, there was a recent debate about whether videos counted as new posts.  I didn't say at the time but I guess this is my answer, ha.

Anyway, let me know if I am woefully wrong and you find them boring or stupid.  I am curious and not easily offended.  This is the sort of post that happens when I wait for photos to upload.  The fruits of my browsing.

This pokes fun at some players' accents:

Chelsea players put on the spot, haha, some of them get so flustered:

This is why I love soccer.  One minute it's called The Beautiful Game and the next, well ....

And a little politics ... sort of:

First of all, I could not understand a single word anyone said in that first video, except the coach...Second of all, I almost started to feel bad for those flustered players...Thirdly, what kind of an intimidation tactic is that, bumping foreheads??...And that O'Bama video cracked me up.

Yes, I knew you were secretly on my side in the "do videos count as blog updates" debate. Take THAT everyone who disagreed with me!

Angi: 1. I know! And the coach isn't even British! 2. I mostly felt sorry for the guy who was panting in terror. 3. The forehead bumping baffles me but they do it a lot. I think they get so used to not using their hands that when most people would just throw a punch or shove the other guy out of the way, soccer players headbutt.

Kev: It was a last minute decision, though. I decided I agreed with you, oh, after I started putting up the links.
