We’re just gearing up for the start of the 2016 Australian Winter football season.
was a challenge and my workout!
when we stumbled upon a village soccer tournament.
What do you see?

I love seeing the Beautiful Game being played around the world.
They might have no soccer boots, shin guards or socks but just look at the uniforms.
It might be a dust bowl of a pitch,
where no-one blinks an eyelid if a stray dog runs onto the pitch,
but just look at those smiles.
One of the teams I have worked with for the past four seasons is a team of people seeking asylum.
What they tell us is that when they play soccer,
they are not Asylum Seekers, they are football players.
There is a soccer quote that I love which says:
‘Every time I step onto the pitch, all my troubles go away.
The only thing that matters on the pitch is the beautiful game.’ (Anon)
And that, dear Bloggers, is why I am very happy to be a crazy soccer Mum!
I hope you have a lovely week.
