Following the path of my newest whim, I’ve decided to learn all about soccer and find a couple of teams to support. Yes, that’s right. I’m going to be a sports fan now.

It’s all following this hullaballoo about the Red Sox. I don’t like baseball. I’ve tried. I don’t like football. Goodness knows I grew up with enough of it, what with the family football pool and being in the marching band (we were expected at all the home games)… but I never really liked football. So, after feeling thoroughly left out of all the sports stuff, genuinely wanting to care about it, but not really being able to, I’ve decided that I’ll learn about soccer… and maybe find that I become a real fan.

I actually like soccer, or football, or whatever you may call it in whichever country you’re from. A couple of years ago, when Brazil was in the World Cup, the whole city went mad. (Moslty everyone in my city was Portuguese) It was great! But I had no idea what was going on, really. I understand the game, in a rudimentary sense, having watched my friends play it (some of my more sporty friends were on the teams back in High School) but I don’t really follow along, and I’m certainly not a fan.

Yeah, so I guess that sums it up. Now I’m off into the wild blue yonder of the internet to see what’s up in the world of soccer, er, football…. whatever.
