I may wear a skirt 90% of the time, but soccer chicks are tough.

As long as you go shoulder to shoulder most refs don't care how many people you take down on your way to the goal.

i almost broke an ankle playing soccer, two of us went to kick the ball at the same time--ball went straight up into the air. then there was the time someone kicked a ball and it went about fifteen feet, right into my face. ah, blood flow when a nose gets broken....

i like to play soccer...well, i did way back when. but i like to play baseball as well. as for watching? yawn
