That is "football" as understood by the rest of the world, of course. Now that I have Fox Soccer Channel in my cable package I get to watch a fair amount of English Premier League matches every weekend, if I want. I watched the season opener between Liverpool and Aston Villa Saturday morning, and then today I woke up at 6 A.M. to catch the first game of the season for Arsenal. It was a nail-biter all the way. Arsenal's goalie made a horrible play to give up a goal within the first minute of play, and Arsenal didn't even it up until there were less than 10 minutes left in regulation. Fulham's goalie played crazy good, but in the end even he couldn't hold Arsenal back forever. As with all things EPL, you can read all about it courtesy of the BBC.
In other sporting news, I got to take my friend George to the St. Louis Cardinals baseball game yesterday in my company's luxury box. The partner I work for even gave me the parking pass, so we got to see the game for free, eat for free, and park for free. Not a bad day, really, especially since the Cardinals won in commanding fashion. It started with a little bit of video games, then EPL football, then baseball, and then some anime and comic books to cap it off. Today is studying for the Certified Internal Auditor exam (joy!) and resting up as much as I can on my right foot.
