Soccer....It's all about comfort, right??

Soccer isn't really my sport but my nephew, Quinten, invited us to come and watch him (and Conner) play a little soccer. What is an aunt to do? So, last night we headed to the city park to watch a bunch of 5-year-olds man the field for a wild game of soccer. It was a riot! Just picture eight little kids with shirts that go all the way down to their knees, huddled together, legs kicking in every direction, but the ball isn't really moving anywhere....Until one player breaks out of the crowd with the ball and heads to the goal with the rest of the kids running behind him! SCORE! (both Quinten and Conner scored goals) There is of course, the lone player who stands outside the huddle not wanting to get kicked (or even come in contact with the ball). It was pretty funny! The best part of all was seeing Quinten and Conner dressed in their soccer gear....with their shin guards on the OUTSIDE of their socks! Well, duh! They scratch their legs if they are on the inside....It's all about comfort!
