Soccer is called football in Europe. Or maybe football is called soccer in Australia. It gets confusing after a while….
There is a fussball tournament today. Claudia’s school is challenging a nearby school. A whole day has been dedicated to this event. She is playing in the Costa Rica team and has never played a game of soccer in her life. We quicky learned the rules off google. There was a bit of ball skill training on the road last night. And a lot of good luck wishes this morning!
The kids won’t come home for lunch today as they are getting a free lunch at school. The Swiss version of a sausage sizzle is a bratwurst with crusty bread and sparkling apple juice. Not too shabby indeed.
Update: Costa Rica came 3rd place in their age group. Well done!!
Using my best Hermione Granger voice: “Actually Jen, they recently went about officially renaming soccer to Football in Australia”.
You crack me up!!
And in reply, using my best Ron Weasley voice: “Blimey Dave, that’s just not cricket, it isn’t”.
