Sucker for soccer

I played soccer again after a long long time. It was so long that the football felt weird between my legs. Well there were a lot of things that were different compared to the 6-a-side we used to play at the hostel quadrangle.
The best thing about the match that day was the playground. I had never played on such a lush green field! It took some time getting used to the soft, bouncy feeling with every step I took, but it was just fabulous. There were a few good players too, and it was a pleasure playing with them.

Another interesting fact was the presence of 4 girls in our team. Talking about girls, I was a fairly strong believer of the beauty-is-inversely-proportional-to-footer-skills hypothesis. Not any more. That hypothesis has been proved false and replaced with the hotter=better hypothesis, which apart from being more concise is more versatile in its applications.

All of them played as defenders, and pretty good at that; not all owing to their dribbling skills of course :P. Rather than kick the ball when they got a chance, the strikers of the other team would for some mysterious reason try caressing the ball slowly towards the goal as if they were afraid its the ball that would get hurt otherwise and not the girls!

No wonder, after leading the match 4-0, we finally lost it 7-5 after the girls in our team left.
