Football/Soccer on the Field (video)

by Jim on 13 October 2009

in Special themes

Spectacularly popular, it’s no surprise that people are blogging about it all over the world!  I’m talking about Football (or Soccer, as it’s commonly called in places like New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and the USA).  Check out this video about a recent soccer school in Burkina Faso…


Sounds like a good sport for MKs to learn, right?  Or maybe just showing a little interest in kids playing fútbal could go a long way.

It’s great to go and watch a game together, like this one between Ecuador and Uruguay.  If you can’t go to the game, you can always watch it on TV – you’d be surprised what a community event it can be!

Here’s someone else using sports to reach out – maybe you can help.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup is coming up!  There will no doubt be more and more football buzzzz in the weeks ahead – stay tuned!
