Footie in the sandbox

JD scores one of many goals and snapper points out the errors of the SL physics system and a list of other excuse.

With the football season well on the way ("Soccer" to the Americans...shakes head) members of the GFC decided to try their hand at kicking a pigs bladder around the sandbox....well it started out that way.

First Seven of Nine (Zannadu Resident) rezzed a ball as she was showing one of our newer members Hydregion Resident about making objects physical. Before you knew it I had changing into my Arsenal football kit and JD had rezzed a kickable football with goal posts and nets.

Then Seven started creating a stand for the watching crowd to sit down at. Hydregion employed her new building skills and began creating lines for a football pitch.

Hydregion wonders how she ended up sitting next to the police and Seven has words with Snapper.

As the ball was kickable JD and myself had a bit of a football match....Lets just say I lost count of the score but not enough to know JD won. Of cause I will protest that the ball physics were wrong, the aiming was wrong, the lindens conspired in making me lose and the world was spinning in the wrong direction at the time which help put  me off my aim.

Though we didn't have a  referee, the law was represented by Jim Foxley as he wore a 1950 style British policemans uniform with truncheon or battering stick as the criminals like to call it.

You've noticed we have goal posts in the background just to remind you this is still about football :)

Partybabeliz Resident decided the pitch could be a catwalk and paraded her teams man city shirt with matching jean shorts, provided you could ignore the team she supported it made an interesting combination, juxtaposing sport with casual wear....or in english a football top with shorts smaller than a belt...but hey I'm an admirer of fashion and football in equal measures <Grin>

Football in the sandbox

Sandbox turned into a makeshift football pitch.

With all the hype surrounding Manchester Utd Vs Barcelona champions league match last night in which Barcelona won 3 – 1, the football bug had suddenly swept across the sandbox especially since Commodore JD matova was waiting for his compatriots in Germany who were playing Uruguay in an international game. Someone decided to rezzed a football and we thought we'd have our own match with me being the dizzy one struggling to even kick the ball. I decide to give up on that bad note to write this blog instead, which would be less embarrassing.

JD scored goal after goal and Jimmy1963 gave up after a while with a suspected injury, he flew to the Paris medical centre for assistants.

Jeanmarie Anton was on top form and scoring well and so was Kaori who is not just an ace pilot but good on the pitch as well, theres no telling what other talents she may process. I cant even tell you who won the game but felt JD could have been the on the winning team as he scored the most goals (editor: that's usually how you decide the winner of a match).

Plenty of space to score there.

And I still failed to score.
