    “You’re right, coach. I like soccer, but it’s kind of a boring game for hipsters who want to pretend they’re Europeans.”

    This is a major breakthrough for soccer in this strip: the coach appears in more than 2 panels, and she has a name! (Coach Dawes.) When we last saw a Mudlark soccer coach (Oct. 5-6, 2011), he was listed in the credits as “guy in a chair”.-

    First EES of the season, some hand jive, intergender interaction and a P3 reference to that Debby Boone hit burning up transistor radios in The Valley. I am having Milford moustache withdraws.

    Marty Moon should be breaking the news on this. “Milford Soccer Senior May Not Like The Game.” We’ll be taking calls all afternoon. Phone lines are still open.

    P2, What’s not to love, coach. It’s The Beautiful Game. You run around a field for an hour and a half, nobody scores then you riot! I really love that part. That, and hitting the ball with my head but not using my hands. That’s really special.

    P3, You know what really lights me up, coach? The showers! That’s my favorite part. Walk with me. Maybe we could start that part early.

    My beloved FC Dallas won the US Open Cup last night. Heather didn’t suit up.

    Considering she asked her to walk with her, they sure aren’t doing much walking. I’m just being honest here. You think Coach Dawes is on a roll? She’s really on a roll in today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
