This blog will describe and explain why I love:
1. America
2. Frankie Hejduk
3. Soccer
Hey! Meathead! Don't close the blog, yeah I said I love soccer. But before you go and make your remarks about how soccer players put more time into styling their hair then they do playing the game - read what I have to say, you might come away with a greater respect for a few individual players, such as Columbus' Frankie Hejduk.
Okay - where to start, you see in soccer, there are two teams and when one player on one team does something wrong he can earn what we call a "yellow card." Now say that same player does another bad thing in that very same game, earning himself a second yellow card - stay with me on this one - two yellow cards equal one red card (carry the two, yeah, one red card).
When a player earns himself a red card he is asked to leave the field (or "pitch" for you soccer hooligans out there). Therefore his team is forced to play the rest of the game a man down.
But wait! There's more, once a player has acquired a red card they are forced to sit out the next game - here's where things get allll ccccrraaaaa-zyyyy - in soccer, that's it. Leave the current game and sit out the next. There's no league discipline or anything like that and as a soccer player you do not sit in the press box like you would if you played other sports such as football or basketball.
This is where the love for America and Frankie Hejduk come into play. (Spoiler Alert! if you want to know just what the hell I am getting at, check out this link! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69xtzT4dm88 )
What does Frankie Hejduk do for his game off? Word on the street is that Hejduk swung by the local Buffalo Wild Wings to have a drink before driving down Crew Stadium to do what?
- now is where you click the link! -
To drink and pregame with the fans. Only in America could you see this happening. But Tim, what about in England - soccer or futbol is huge over there - first of all, shut up and sit down, you will speak only when spoken to. Secondly, NOT BLOODY LIKELY! you will not see this happening anywhere except America. I mean come on, click the link! That's not even the only you tube video of Frankie kicking it with the fans!
Any meatheads left out there? Now I don't plan on changing your mind because after all you are meatheads and you probably already left to go lift weights and get ripped but come on (like Peter Griffin, come onnnnnnnnnnnn) give soccer a chance. When you think of soccer don't picture guys with gel in their hair or players falling to the ground with just a little nudge, think of Frankie Hejduk. Who wouldn't want to hang out with one of the stars before the game. I mean Hejduk was selected to this years all-star team so it's not like he is some nobody that only Columbus fans would recognize.
Bottom Line: Let Columbus sports set the stage, again. We know how to do it. Amateurs? maybe when it comes to Ohio State, but who already has the Supporters Shield locked up with two weeks to play in the season?
For the meatheads still reading, the blog is over - thank you for reading.
God bless the athletes like Frankie Hejduk.
