Over here Ryan Reynolds team Wrexham which is 16 miles down the road from me lost a fabulous game 4 - 5 trying to get back into the football league. I used to support Manchester United as my dad supported them but then downgraded to the only football league club in my county of Shropshire called Shrewsbury Town. We are pretty crap but they are my crap. We have had days beating much bigger clubs in cup competitions and also losing to way lesser clubs. So do you like soccer and if so who is your team ???

I also pull for Liverpool because one of my favorite bands hailed from there.

As far as a favorite player, it has to be Schweinsteiger from the Olympics years ago.  I don't know a damn thing about him except I loved to hear the announcer say his name.

SCHVEINSTEIGAH!!!!!!!!!!!

But I am not blind to genius. i saw a highlight one time where Messi was bringing the ball down the sideline.  There was a guy beside him that had him pinned to the sideline and a guy directly in front of him.  It looked like he had nowhere to go.  Then he did this amazing dribble between his own legs thing and split the two defenders.  There was another defender standing close by and Messi just exploded past him before he even realized what was happening.  Then Lionel drilled a laser of a shot that bent around the goalkeeper about 20 yards away and into the far end of the net.  It was insane.  Even though I am not a soccer fan I grabbed the remote and re-watched that about 5 times.  I assume it is like knowing nothing about American football but still being blown away by some of the moves Barry Sanders pulled out of his ass.
