So You Can Teach An Old Dog....

...well maybe this is not the most appropriate phrase for the thought but it pertains to soccer. Now I have never been a soccer fan. I have always thought watching soccer was like waiting for eggs to hard boil...yawn...but this World Cup event has really perked me up. We sat having breakfast the other day and watched Germany score 3 goals in a matter of minutes...it was riveting. Now I realize that these teams are the best of the best but they have done a good job of hooking me in as a fan. Now I'm trying to learn more about the rules and I have an enormous respect regarding the condition of these athletes, I almost get out of breath myself watching them run full speed up and down the field...course they are not bad eye candy either but I suppose an old dog just shy of 62 is not supposed to say that. :-)
