Today I amply represented the United States in the United Nations Soccer Forum held in Trindade, Florianópolis Santa Catarina Brazil. Delegates from France, Paraguay, Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Argentina were all in attendance. Fortunately no head-butts occurred in heated moments of the match. While I didn't score a goal I did manage to attain a new nickname, Gringoal. I hope it will stick. There were chickens, ducks, geese, and other assorted fowl cheering us on as they were the only fans at the field, which we rented for $70 reais per hour. The artificial turf left pesky remnants of rubber inside of my shoes, and stuck within the fibers of my socks. Thank you Ed Willhelm, I held my own on the pitch.
