If you watched the Colbert Report tonight, that title is a whole lot funnier.
…I’ll admit, they actually don’t get that many goals…
Hockey is starting to get less and less entertaining. On top of all the fighting, and the drama accompanied by new teams and rosters that just don’t make any sense the games are just less exciting. Accompanied by an extremely dissapointing ending to the stanley cup with the Ottawa Senators getting completely slaughtered by the Ducks I’ve had to turn my attention and love to a new sport.
Soccer.
Maybe it’s true that when you date a new guy you pick up some of his interests. He happens to fulove (fulove = fucking love, clever eh?) soccer… So unless I want to sit and listen to nonsense for an hour after a game, I just watch so that I can actively participate. If I were strongly opposed to learning the sport, then I wouldn’t do it, but I don’t mind so I’m still maintaining my feminist vibe. Woo!
The trouble is - I don’t know what I’m supposed to be watching Soccer isn’t like hockey. Well, maybe it is, I just don’t “get it” yet. But right now I’m attempting to follow not only the MLS but also the qualifying rounds for EURO 2008 and CONCACAF… And then, on June 30, the U-20 world cup is starting up. And we can’t forget about FIFA (which is U-20, but I mean the older guys…) I have a slight idea of the teams that I like in each category, but I don’t know if they’re embarassing yet, so I’m going to keep my mouth shut and my fingered slowed for now.
Except I’m obviously cheering for the TFC, even though they’re not doing so great thus far. And I guess it’s not really “obviously” since I don’t cheer for the TML and they’re the Toronto hockey team. But I feel like I should cheer for something from Toronto, and since I hate baseball and don’t intend on following any other sport, the TFC gets my love.
I don’t plan on writing about soccer ever again on the blog, unless something really exciting happens, but I just thought everyone should know that not only have I revegetarianized myself this week, but I have also become a soccer fan.
Woo!
