New Jersey beat Brazil in soccer tonight!! Whooohooo! Imagine that! Brazil! The home of soccer great Pelé! Whipped by New Jersey! Yesssss! Pelé once stated, “It seems that God brought me to Earth with a mission to play soccer.” And He brought ya to New Jersey to give ya a whoopin’!

Things have been a little crazy in the house tonight. Hannah and Madeline have two girls sleeping over. There has been dancing, cheerleading, singing, and… soccer. That’s right. Soccer in the living room and dining room. Chairs were used as goal posts. A yellow smiley face soccer ball was the focus of all the action.

Now, the soccer interest seems to have been growing over the last few days. You see, the other half of “we” was born and raised in Brazil. Her name is Arissa. Of course, being from Brazil, she likes soccer. Too bad Brazil lost tonight! The score was New Jersey 3, Brazil 2. And there was only one injured player, who was promptly carried from the field on a stretcher…

…and given CPR. Don’t worry… she lived!

And that’s the day in sports!
