Kickoff

So this is kickoff, then? Welcome to it.

This is a blog that has been begging me to be written for some time now and I'm finally motivated (bored?) enough to make it happen. Yes, this is a blog about soccer or football or calcio or footy or whatever the hell you want to call it. The important thing here is that we're talking about the same game, I could give a toss what you call it, and really, if the name is that important to you, you're probably a douche anyhow.

I've been all over the world and even in countries where mine wasn't the most liked nationality, the ability to competently play the game and talk about it did more than any political apologetics could have ever done. So here we are. Will it be a hammering? A dull draw? A frenetic affair? PKs? Time will tell. Enjoy.
