RSL and Mr. Awesome John

It's been a while since all of these events happened, but the stories are still worth telling. John, my brother in law, won an award this last year for being an amazing teacher. He teaches spanish as well as coaches SEVERAL sports at Hillcrest High School. For his recognition, along with other teachers, they were presented at an RSL game. This was the first RSL game that Joel and I had been to, and we weren't disappointed! I'm going to be honest...soccer on television is boring at its best (excluding the world cup). It's a slow paced game with almost no scoring. Woo. Tosh.0 said it best "...played by a bunch of 5'6'' fairies lightly jogging for three hours - or however long your game is. Buy a scoreboard". However, I was pleasantly suprised how much I enjoyed the RSL game. It is definately a sport that needs to be watched in person. Well here it is, and late congrats John!
