So as not to clog the World Cup thread...

Any of you guys around Norman get together and play "el futbol" on a for-fun basis? I might be interested. Really out of practice, though. (Well, if I was ever IN practice, or something...)

[GottaHavePride]

Heh.

If you don't mind a wheezing myopic asthmatic with no skills, I'd be down for a game. My pal plays Ultimate with some exchange students. Let me see if he knows any games.

out..

for obvious reasons :P

Heh. I know a guy from Panama that would be a perfect connection for finding a game, but he got a job and moved to Texas.

So I went by a couple of stores in Norman to pick up a soccer ball (now when I'm bored I can go over to a park and chase it around - you know, since I'm not good enough to keep it in one place) and you know what? The balls all suck! All they have is crappy bottom-end balls, usually smaller than regulation. Bastages. I had to order a decent one off the innerweb.

The field over at the NW corner of Jenkins and Timberdale has lots of pick-up games...some pretty competative...

[GottaHavePride]

I'll probably need a few weeks to remember what the heck I'm doing first. ;) And if they really get after it, I'll probably need some shinguards.

I want to tell you to use a futsal ball which is smaller and heavier than a regular soccer ball.

That would probably be good for practice. Nice suggestion.

Oh, and done. I figure having two balls instead of one can't be a bad thing. ;)

Everytime I see the title of this thread, I chuckle a bit. Thanks GHP. :D

GHP, I'd definately be up for kicking the ball around one of the days. I talked to a dude last night that says the field next to the reserve usually has some pick up games going on. And they're really friendly towards outsiders apparently.

I'll roll wit you.

[GottaHavePride]

Sweet. Like I said, give me a week or two to get used to it again and I'll give you a peem. Oh, and Soonerus was right about the field at Timberdale and Jenkins (north of the tennis courts). There's a big field with a couple of movable full-size goals. No nets, though.

I live like .2 miles from that area. Usually during the week there are pick up rugby games.

And looks like I had better bust out the ol' ball as well.

Edit: There's a chance you might've actually been to my house. I see that you're in the Phi Mu frat. My next door neighbors had a giant party where like 75 of you guys showed up. I came out and hazed one of your pledges, with permission of course :cool:

[GottaHavePride]

Heh. If you mean recently, I haven't been to a Phi Mu Alpha function in a while. I was never much of one for the huge parties. ;)
