Funny Soccer Tweets
I’ve been using social networking sites more and more, and finding some rather funny stuff. I use a great Twitter client called TweetDeck, which allows you to search the public timeline for certain keywords so you can monitor tweets with certain words. Very cool. Well, I had to share a rather funny tweet that scrolled [...]
Lessons In Soccer Fashion
Here’s a little tip for any of you who have been running around the house trying to find soccer socks for your child before practice, camp, or a match. One of Soccer Dad’s urchins discovered that soccer socks aren’t the only long black socks to be found in our laundry basket!
Tales From The Lunachick Fringe III
My U11 Girls team had one last hurrah at the NC State Games last weekend, and you just knew there would be a few Tales From The Lunachick Fringe!
The NC State Games are a huge annual amatuer sporting event styled after the Olympics, including opening ceremonies. The youth soccer tournament is only one of dozens of events, but attracts teams from across the state. So we were excited to be going as our last event together as a U11 team. The girls did well, reaching the bronze medal match, but that’s not what this post is about! It’s about the fun that ensues when the Lunachicks play soccer!
Comical Youth Soccer
One of my favorite quirky comics is Rhymes With Orange, and this recent strip about ‘Youth Soccer From Above’ is all too funny (and true)
Tales From The Lunachick Fringe II
It’s so nice that the drought seems to be over or at least improving. We’ve had a lot of rain this season, compared to almost none last Fall. But it sure would be nice if it rained earlier in the week. Lately it seems like it is always raining Thursday, Friday, and Saturday – wreaking havoc on the match schedules of leagues across North Carolina. The weather also made for some funny moments at our recent match.
Changes to the Laws Of The Game
Over at the ÂNC-Soccer Forum, Wreave shares an old April Fool’s gag they pulled a few years ago, complete with a dummy website. Anyone who has been involved in youth soccer for a while will appreciate the humor in what he wrote. My favorite?
One minor but important change is that the Law 11 offense formerly [...]
Tales From The Lunachick Fringe
I often joke with friends of mine that I’ll be able to write a book in a few years about the exploits of my U11 Girls team, The Lunachicks. Regular readers are already familiar with some of my tales. In lieu of a book, I might as well start a regular feature here at OTP called “Tales From The Lunachick Fringe”. Even though the Spring season has just gotten underway, I’ve already got a few stories to share – of course.
What Is This Off-Season You Speak Of?
As the season winds down, the volunteers who spend much of their time administering soccer leagues can get a little snarky because it can be so hard to recruit other volunteers to help with things like concessions, field upkeep, goal repair, and more. So you have to forgive them if they get a little bit, [...]
Puppies On The Pitch
My U11 Girls picked up their first point this past weekend (yay!), but by far the funniest moment of the game was when a dog decided to audition as ‘Air Bud’ during the match.
Out Of The Mouths Of Babes – Pt III
Ah children – a never ending source of free labor and entertainment…
Soccer Mom scored some tickets to a UNC Chapel Hill football game recently and took the two eldest. Soccer Dad got to stay home (don’t cry for me – the beer fridge was full, the little ones were angels, and there were better games [...]
It’s Hard To Be A Yank
I’ll admit I spend more time coaching and watching youth soccer live in person than watching professional/international soccer on FSC, so these commercials are likely old news to many of you. But they made me laugh out loud so I figured I’d share them for those of you who haven’t seen them yet. Hilarious yet [...]
The Ref’s Cell Phone
I would never advocate heckling a referee, but this is funny:
NFHS game a couple of years ago. Game going well, decent crowd, nothing really unusual. Crowd is relatively loud, but it’s just all background noise. Until, all of a sudden, a hush falls over the stadium and you hear this one loud voice from the [...]
Out Of The Mouths of Babes – Pt II
So we’re out at a tournament this weekend – #2’s first real matches with her Challenge team. The girls are wearing their new uniforms and having a ball. #3 (he’s 4 yrs old) is being spoiled rotten by one of the soccer mom’s on the sideline when he asks “Did everyone on the team go [...]
