(12,233 posts)actual football team, so soccer in the fall was our "IT" sport. And while I played during my elementary and middle school years, I knew well enough that I would not come close to the skill that the highschool JV team would require.. So, next best thing, Varsity Boys Soccer manager. I had to keep track of shot's on goal, assits, fouls, etc.
My husband started watching the futbol/ soccer World Cup matches (because basically if its a sport and on ESPN, he'll watch it). For the first time, it was really nice being able to school him on the game. He's really quite appreciative of the athletecism and is understanding some of the "plays" and special set ups better. When the World Cup first began, he wasn't sure why there were corner kicks...
So, if we ever have an MLS team close by, he's all about going and watching that. So, first up would be regular football and then soccer (he prefers that over baseball now-- lol).
