Futebol (or in english, football)

Today I feel like writing about one of my passions: FOOTBALL
I am truly a fan! not a fanatic, but a fan, the one who oves the game, the strategy, the tactics, the technique, I love it. I think it is plastic beauty meets brutal force, plus competition, it is just great.
I love playing it, and I was going to play it tomorrow but my friend from the other team......... quited...damn, so no game tomorrow.
I am a Benfica fan, which nowadays it is terrible, as it hasn't won anything in the past 10 years, one cup or another but too weak.
In Portugal it is quite amazing the amount of time and paper people spend with this magic sport.
We have 3 daily newspapers covering only sport and where 80% of the issue is dedicated to footbal. That's why any rumour is always amplified to its best and sometimes before the parties envolved realize what's happenning, they read it.... Mst of the times, coaches find out they are fired, someother times players find out they were sold or hired to/by other clubs....it is a freaky mess
Let's get back in the game, please, gentleman!!!
As a friend of mine keeps recalling me MONKEY COUNTRY!

Take care,

until next week
