More sports

I finally went to see a Premiership soccer match last night: Fulham played against Bolton. As much as I was hoping for soft rock interludes, it turns out the main entertainment was actually the match.


The game moved a little slowly, the only scoring resulted from penalty shots, and it ended in a tie, but it picked up significantly at the end. And I had fun—it’s one of the advantages of not knowing the sport that well.

We also had great seats, which afforded Matt the opportunity to throw an occasional barb at the Bolton team (my favorite: “Who are you going to spit at now, Diouf?”)

Here’s an action shot of the first penalty kick:


(Also, Nir and Martin called me last night after the match. I promised them I would post that here.)
