Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 14, 2016

looks more like André is trying karate, kung fu, or tae kwon do

I thought it was Tai Chi with Hollywood Buddhism chants thrown in.

Does it use a ball? I don’t think Ernesto needs to worry too much about the ball.

It should start raining at any moment.

Acting(drama) classes are what you need for European football(soccer to you plebs in the colonies)

I like Andre’s version. He should perform those moves, complete with sound effects at top volume, during the games. His role could be the official alarm clock for all the sleeping fans. But I could just be speaking as a pleb in the colonies.

When I was coaching pee wee soccer (under 6 league) it was often difficult to see the ball when a swarm of tykes descended on it like a colony of ants attacking a grasshopper.

Dragon soccer ball z.

I read a bio of Knute Rockne that said he was trying to introduce soccer to his Notre Dame football players as a workout and team-building exercise. Americans had evidently never heard of the game back then. Supposedly, to get his players interested, he said something like, “The object of the game is to kick the ball. If you can’t do that, kick the other player in the shins.”.Then he looked around and the ball was missing. After a couple of minutes of fruitless search, one of the linemen said, “Aw, the heck with the ball, Coach, let’s just start the game anyway.”.Don’t know if it’s true or not.

Andre’s moves and cries seem like martial arts stuff: just right for some serious soccer (don’t forget the explosives too, as in Europe). The ball is only marginally relevant to 90 or more minutes of running around and committing mayhem….

I thought he was practicing his Klingon martial arts.
