The sweeper is such an important player in pawsball. Penny loves playing pawsball! :)<br /><br />Good natured rivalry would make a lot more sense. It really is this tribal obsession of supporting a certain team. The positive aspects of sport to bring folks together, rather than apart, would be such a great ideal.<br /><br />Smiling back at you, dear Jess :)<br /><br />Gary :) klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-52448293625077706202014-07-10T12:37:27.470+00:002014-07-10T12:37:27.470+00:00This post is excellent!

First off I love the Wee folk picture and the fact that one is sweeping. :) Penny looks adorable- I hope she enjoys soccer/football if she finds someone to play with. <br /><br />I have always thought it was great to support a team or a player, but have never understood the anger this can bring out in people when they realize they like different teams. <br /><br />Thanks for making m e smile. :) <br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-67369412364711666002014-07-08T22:48:35.668+00:002014-07-08T22:48:35.668+00:00Aha, Lisa, the dreaded "Farcebook!"

I totally respect what you said. There are still factions within football who are not actually fans of the game. They have an agenda and they use football as their vehicle for their evil that impacts on the majority. In Egypt, I do not that the fanatical angle is sadly more prominent than it should ever be.<br /><br />Have a peaceful Sunday, Lexa.<br /><br />Gary :) klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-68203868973538740982014-07-05T18:49:17.931+00:002014-07-05T18:49:17.931+00:00I didn't mean to upset you with my rant.

As for hooliganism, I think it's still here. I feel sorry for the family of the referee killed by a man during a match in Detroit 2 days ago. And the families of the player and ref killed in Brazil, the fan killed in Arruda Stadium (Brazil), plus the 15 fans killed in Congo, all in May, and the fan killed in Sweden in March. Two years ago, 74 were killed in Egypt. There are killings like that all over the world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-76787109391846663392014-07-05T00:40:14.958+00:002014-07-05T00:40:14.958+00:00Hi Lexa,

Yes, "diving", as it's called is blatant cheating. <br /><br />Please, you have to remember, if you are going along these lines, there is the Canadian version of the game you love. So, I will tell you that the Canadian version is much more exciting to watch. And none of that "fair catch" crap like they have in the NFL. <br /><br />To compare soccer to dog-fighting is a bit extreme. If anything you would find that a number of soccer teams are very family oriented these days. The days of hooliganism that plagued Europe are mostly gone. MLS aka Major League Soccer embraces the family outing aspect. <br /><br />Thank you, Lexa.<br /><br />Gary :) klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-69941325164760099632014-07-05T00:34:34.405+00:002014-07-05T00:34:34.405+00:00Hi Angela,

It's just people running around for 90 min and never scoring or scoring once. Pitiful. And if one player gets near another, one will flop to the ground and cry and wail, trying to get a penalty on the other team. What the heck is that? There's no crying in sports - unless you win and are grateful, or unless you are really hurt. But pretending to be hurt? That's disgusting. Soccer fans are insane. I love US football. No matter what team you like, if you discover someone is a fan of another team, you grouse a bit and laugh it off. In soccer, fans beat or kill other fans, players, and referees. It is a sick, sick sport in every way. It's down there along with dog-fighting - and I'm sure Penny will back me up on how revolting that is...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-82679539010324186322014-07-04T23:19:50.144+00:002014-07-04T23:19:50.144+00:00I've had the chance to watch a few teams meet ...I've had the chance to watch a few teams meet up and fight the good foot game.
