[BNM] [OT] Offside rule explained for girls

[Ali]

+1 James,

not a fanatic myself but.......
it is one of those rare things that humans across the globe can enjoy together
what other activity/endeavour can/does bring the whole world together every 4 years in celebration of a common language?
nations really get a feel for each other through the way they play and support football in a way that nothing else does.

I gave up supporting club football with my teens but I am spiritually lifted by the world cup, and that's even though my home nation, Scotland, seems to have had their day....

peace

Ali

  >Hey I don't like football either, I hate it with a passion,

  each to their own, but, i do feel like sticking up for footie when it's 
  hated

  don't get me wrong i really have no interest in football whatsoever but i 
  don't think it deserves to be hated

  i'm pleased for the people who really get off on it, they really are quite 
  mental about it, that's a nice thing to have, to know that there is 
  somewhere to go, something to watch for a couple of hours, and some group of 
  people to support, that's all very positive human stuff ... and yes i know 
  there's thugs and idiots and spoilt strikers but there's also lots of normal 
  people enjoying a passion and talented, commited athletes etc

  my brother has always been passionate about football and i've only ever seen 
  it bring him joy

  can't be so bad surely? offside rule or otherwise

  jim
