Football in the land of "football"

All is not lost to civilisation in the USA. Indeed in the land of "football", there are many people playing Football ! Indeed, we managed to build up a team to compete in an internal work cup. 20 teams entered and each team played three first round games of 25 minutes. Our team did really well with two wins and a draw. Lots of nice running and sweating. Good spirit and fun - at least during our games. We saw another player demonstratively push down his opponent's goalkeeper. He got a redcard for that - well deserved.
We played on half fields and 7 against 7 with a lot of substitutions. Our "grey" team qualified for the next round. But I had to leave and my team promptly lost in the quarterfinals. Surely us economists could find a strong causal relationship there!!
The cup took place at our club. There is a golf course and plenty of tennis courts... Great but far and expensive... Not too say a little touch of exclusive. Still it was a fantastic day with temperature above 30 ! Already looking forward to next year's cup!
