for those of you who don’t know who CR is, click here (and try to keep the drool off your keyboard).
Really, he’s one of the few reasons to watch the world cup in a couple of weeks (I mean, since Ecuador isn’t playing).
Then, check these out…
i had to include this shot because of our friend, juan (one of those guys who just cracks you up all the time) is in the background. apparently in his youth he played for the under-18 ecuadorian national team or something. he’s faux running in the background.
getting ready for a shot.
practicing sitting ‘criss-cross-applesauce’ aka ‘indian style’ (which we don’t say in schools anymore for obvious reasons).
The reason for the game is that just about every year Marcus participates in the “World Cup” Tournament here in Charlotte. It’s a really cool event with people from all over coming together and playing soccer. We wives joke (but not really) about who’s getting injured next. Last year, Marcus came home from the game on crutches and was on them for over a week. The year before a guy was diving for the ball right in front of us and snapped his wrist (yuck!) Poor guys – they forget they’re all old and out-of-shape. Anyway, Saturday’s match was a ‘friendly’ game vs. members of the Swedish team. Marcus had an unfair advantage because he could understand everything the Swedes were saying.
We can’t wait to wear our 'tricolor’ jerseys and root on our guys! (And we’ll be packing plenty of ace bandages and first aid kits, just in case! :))
