It only seems fitting, after the world cup has kicked off in our former homeland (and Aus and RSA continue to excel!), to talk (yet again!) about soccer. We’ve hit another jackpot here. The boys are playing at another great club (http://www.dougmillersoccer.com/). Doug was a very successful professional player in his own right (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Miller) and is a lovely guy with a great attitude. The amazing thing about the US is just how very easy everything is (particularly when compared with Italy). The coaches, parents and kids are all super-friendly and see us as something of a (pleasant) novelty. After only one week we are already car-pooling, borrowing shirts and being invited for plays (the boys that is). Tom played in a tournament last weekend and Robbie has played two matches. As with AC Santa Lucia in Italy, we will be very sad to bid farewell to all at Doug Miller soccer!
Tom & Robbie are becoming such International players now, I think they need to give some pointers to the Socceroos. As you probably know how Germany hammered us after most of Australia including us were up at 4am to watch the match. I have now acquired a vuvazela(sp) so at the next match if a goal is scored Tim can blow it and only then will I get up from my nice new bed and only then!!
