My First Fußball Match

Sean is teaching me to play football or soccer as it is called in the US. We have found a little park with a football pitch just down the street from my house which is very convenient. We have been out to the park 2 or 3 times teaching me how to kick the ball and coordinate my gangly limbs. So far I am doing quite well. Yesterday I had my first improptu match in the park. My competition had an average age of 10 years. Sean and I teamed up against 3 kids and won. 5-3. Despite my fears of kicking a little kid in the shin or head, I managed to score 2 goals!! Then the old people had to call it quits as we were both out of breath after chasing around the little ones. :-)
