Soccer

This weekend I played soccer with some guys here in Jordan.  A coworker of mine plays each Friday and so I and some others from work joined him and some of his friends.  Unfortunately grass is a scarce commodity in Jordan and so our field was a basketball court with rock piles for goals.

Myself and some other Americans were wondering if we were about to be demolished as we drove out to play.  But as it turned out although many here have a passion for soccer it does not necessarily equate to having talent at soccer.  It was about the mix you'd expect anywhere.  A few guys really good, a few really bad, rest somewhere in between.  For those of you familiar with the Blue Knights, well we would have taken them easily.
