How's Your Spanish?

Thanks, SwordMaster. I don't know how happy it'd be. It is a strange feeling, these games are dangerous (literally) but yet attract me more than the regular games. Americans are so much more relaxed when they play. Their team could be loosing 5:0, and they are like: "Ok guys, it's nothing. Let's play, great stuff!" Occasionally you'd get someone with a bad temper but it's nothing like the Hispanics. They despute every call, scream at the referees, calling them names (thankfully I know most of the bad stuff). Last year during a game between an American and a Hispanic (Mexican mostly) team a fight broke out, a guy fell down on the ground and some macho kicked him in the head while he was already unconscious. He's had 12 surgeries so far and the guy is facing 10 years in prison for assult with attempt to kill. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Got to love the thril!

We have an American tema here in our 5 a side league, and they are a bit crazy. They are pretty pathetic (in four games now my team has scored 52 goals to their none), but every time they lose they cheer the winner off the pitch, and are pretty good about it.

On the other hand there are a couple of crazy teams, our team watched im bemusement one time as a (mostly serbian) team, got into a fight with each other (Bowyer/Dyer style, but the whole team).

LOL, that'd be fun to watch. I'd just stand on the side taking numbers. The supplemental report would be quite long, but it's worth the show. I had a mostly Brasilian team this past Sunday. They laugh like little kids at just about anything. Someone from the other team missed the ball, they'd laugh, someone from their team missed a clear goal-scoring opportunity, they'd laugh. I raised my flag for offside a couple of times, they laughed again. Even when they conceive a goal, they laugh at their own keeper. They won 8:3, but don't let the result fool you, it was a cat vs mouse game. It is just so great to referee. We've got a Bosch team with mostly German players. Then we have the Brittish team with English, Scottish and some Irish players (some of them had played professionally in England) called The Old Peculiars. There are also Latinos, people from the Caribean, French, Italian, African. It's like a mini World Cup. Tonight we had an international referee team me, a guy from Ecuador and another one from Serbia & Montenegro.
