Blogger Idol Week 11 - Blogger Pageant
This weeks topic is "Blogger Pageant" - and I have to answer a question. I choose...
"What's my favourite football team?"
First up - what do you mean by Football?
As most of the world knows it football is played with a round ball with hexagons and polygons. 11 players a side, one of whom is a goalkeeper and can touch the ball with his hands within the goal box. Duration 45 minutes each way.
Ok next question what league?
If it was the UEFA Cup then Manchester United, If FA Cup and English Premier League (First Division) then Manchester United again. If 4th Division then Brighton. If World Cup (most watched sport in the world - even beats the Olympics) then Paraguay, (or Australia if we qualify!)
If we are talking about indoor soccer then Parklife
Ok now if we are talking about Australian Football League played with an oval ball, 18 players per side, four 30 minute quarters, bouncing the ball and kicking and marking then The Brisbane Lions are the team - lets make it 4 championships in a row boys!
Why?
The most important question of all. I love sport - playing, watching, coaching, talking about it. I will stay up late to catch AFL games throughout the season and scream at the news reporters who show the scores minutes before the game is delayed broadcast on TV (Idiots!) I play indoor soccer and sponsor my team. I play outdoor soccer for my church on occasion and I love my Footy!
