this week in soccer

What to write about.
We have written way too many of these.
I played in the World Cup tournament yesterday that the Virginia Tech Men's soccer team holds every year. There were like 20-30 teams and it was conducted like a World Cup tournament. You were guaranteed 5 games in the group stages. The fields were about half the size of the normal fields, which meant for a lot more goals and the games were about 30 minutes long. It was a lot of fun and it was good to finally get some sun. Maybe I got a little too much sun. I am pretty red right now but its all good. The tournament started at 8 am, which really pisses me off. As if I don't lose enough sleep to my early classes every day. But I guess it's better to have early classes than really late ones. Speaking of soccer, did any of you see the United States Soccer player, Jozy Altidore, headbutt another guy in an English premier League game, Zidane style? It was on ESPN and all I have to say is don't mess with the US. It was pretty funny because he barely touched the guy with his head but the guy went flying like he was shot with a RPG. Diving in soccer goes a bit too far a lot of the time. I'm not a stickler if the player falls easily because he was forced off balance by someone else. But I hate it when I see a player just jump over or into a player completely and cry of an injury for 10 minutes and then just jump up and are running full speed in no time, Ronaldo and Drogba style.
So my friend was telling me the other day how bad the food at his college is and I decided to make him jealous about what we can eat here at Virginia Tech. He about lost it when I said we had lobster at one of our dining halls. It's good to go to a school where the food is good, the football is good, and the education is good.
