So this weekend I watched "Green Street Hooligans", a movie about rival London football (soccer) firms and how an American "yankee" (as they call him) goes into the fanatical world of European soccer leagues. The yankee, played by Elijah Wood :(, finds himself involved with the gang of West Ham United, led by actor Charlie Hunnam :), that is against Millwall. Though the movie wasn't all that great, it just got me thinking of how much I miss football! Back home, and in all Latin America really, football (or soccer for Americans) is THE sport we watch. Watching the movie and how excited the leagues got when their teams played, just made me think of home and oh how I miss it. Here, I feel like a COMPLETE STRANGER when watching either baseball, hockey, American Football, or lacrosse. I don't have the faintest clue of the rules or how to keep score, or even of the major leagues. Don't think I haven't tried though...I don't know, I guess maybe I haven't been here long enough to get that involved. I just wish that I could get that excited for any match going on around here as Latins or Europeans do for football (I refuse to call it soccer :p).Trailer
