This afternoon I when to play football to a nearby pitch, it’s the first time I play football since I’m here. Somehow it was those informal football matches I sometimes play with my friends in BCN, but this time I had to shout “backwards” rather than “darrera” or “detrás” and so on… (actually, I realized I have to improve a lot my football vocabulary in English, it’s essential in these situations!).

I played in the so called “Iberian team” (three Spaniards and one Portuguese) plus one English guy, who honored his origins playing that “straight-forward way” English are said to play football. So, as many (guys? juas!!) can imagine it was a bit difficult “mixing” with him (in football terms); I mean mixing it with the Iberian “multiple-touch&passing style”. But we did it!! And very well, I think.

Our opponent team consisted of two French guys, a Slovenian, a Polish, a Dutch and a Bulgarian… yes, they were one more than us!

I enjoyed it a lot, although once in my room I realized I got a blister on the sole of my right foot!.
