How To Limp With Two Bad Feet?

Jul 27, 2006 17:50

Last night was my second official game on my new indoor soccer team. Apparently the break-in period is over; we had no female subs so I had to play the whole game. The game is two 25 minute halves, and unlike outdoor soccer, there isn't much walking or jogging, it's sprint, sprint, sprint - with six minutes left I was really wondering if I was ( Read more... )

Haha, IF his story is true, then I have no doubt there was a significant amount of alcohol involved. But you are by no means ugly. This guy...ugly.

So does there have to be a set number of males and females on the field at any given time? Hmm. That's interesting. Sort of the Amsterdam solution.

Yes, all of the coed leagues have a minimum # of females on the field. For this league, it's 4 men, 2 women. For outdoor it's 4 women in the field (ie, goalie doesn't count, whereas in indoor a female goalie counts towards the women quota).

The net effect of this is that teams with decent female players run rampant, because there are so many teams with gaping female-shaped holes.

On the other hand, the female league I used to play in, as keeper, was by far the best adult league I've seen. Members of the breakers (team in the WUSA, professional women's soccer league) played on a team there in their off-season...brutal.

gaping female-shaped holes. o_O; Are we still talkin' about soccer here?

I admit, I found that funny too! Though I was thinking more of woman-outline-shaped wormholes leading who-knows-where in an alternate universe, which would actually be kind of cool.
