I'll be the first to admit, I am not really fan of watching soccer, but this was actually a bit fun. ![PXL_20251122_140207181.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bozz.sports/23tvaMw6uadA9JzLstzZKssfMhAhu7mEyEPfwBaDkMashJxKDkZkNFCJnbWodr8wZ1KCj.jpg) -------------------------- As you can see, it's played in an enclosed area kind of like an ice hockey rink. Due to that fact, there were a lot of changes to the rules that allowed play to happen in a more fluid manner. The ball couldn't be kicked out of bounds, so there were no stoppages due to that. There were also no corner kicks or anything else because the ball couldn't be kicked outside of the goal. I also heard someone near us saying this league didn't have off sides either, so especially for me, that made the play easier to keep track of. I still don't understand off sides. Our niece scored the first three goals for her team and it wasn't long before they raced to a seven point lead over the opposing team. Later in the game, the other team finally started to get some goals, but it was too little too late. ![PXL_20251122_144842905.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bozz.sports/23tviogg3QRWtbG7FxbEG22uJqBLdsy8H9U8wBWdtAZCcnnMUAmUqyPsapqeWpCXeMtGs.jpg) ----------------------- Our nieces team laid down an 11 to 5 thrashing on the other team. I kind of felt a little bad because the guy sitting in front of us was the father of the goalie from the other team. I don't think he was too happy every time we cheered for the ball going past his little girl. Oh well. It builds character right. After soccer and then basketball, we rushed home to try and catch some of the remaining college football games that were on. I'm almost sad I made such an effort to get home because the Michigan State vs. Iowa game was an absolute joke. What a grand waste of my time. I really hope the head coach of Michigan State gets fired, because clearly he sucks. MSU has failed to win a single conference game this season. That's just unacceptable. My wife as asking me the other night what their problem is lately and I told her honestly they haven't been great since Mark Dantonio left. We need something to turn things around. It's not going to happen this season, but maybe next year... It was actually a pretty lopsided weekend for college football. Most of the ranked schools were playing lesser teams that they ended up hammering into oblivion. There were a couple of exceptions though. Number 12 Utah narrowly beat Kansas State 51 to 47, and TCU took down number 23 Houston 17 to 14 in a big upset. Likewise Pittsburgh upset number 16 Georgia Tech 42 to 28 and Wisconsin had the big home win against number 21 Illinois 27 to 10. Indiana didn't play, so they stay in the number 2 spot with Ohio State in the number 1 spot. I should also point out the 70 to 7 stomping number 9 Notre Dame gave Syracuse. That was probably the most lopsided win of the ranked games this past weekend. There is little chance Michigan State is going to play a single game this season. Instead, I have to just find small bits of joy where I can. The Michigan/Ohio State game is next weekend. That could be fun. The Michigan State vs. Maryland game is going to be played at Ford Field, but last I heard, they were basically giving away tickets for free because no one wanted to buy them.... Oye! Good thing basketball season has started...! ---------- ### [My Sports Account - @bozz.sports](https://www.peakd.com/@bozz.sports) ---------- #### Come hang out in [The Pub](https://peakd.com/c/hive-178138/created) [Find us on Discord](https://discord.gg/cCEMJXAEXk) Or Check out my [Grilling and Smoking Community on HIVE](https://peakd.com/c/hive-138631/created) ------------- ![TEAMUSAhive_footer_bozz.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bozz/fXpCTKUZ-TEAMUSA-hive_footer_bozz.jpg) ---------------- *All pictures/screenshots taken by myself or @mrsbozz unless otherwise sourced*
