Like the 1975 Nazareth song, Love hurts… but this time is about soccer…

Soccer hurts, Soccer scars,
Soccer wounds, and marks...

If you follow soccer, and play soccer, you know how physical the game could be… And last week was my turn – an offensive move, a dribble towards the goal, shot, and a save by other team's goalkeeper, and the bloody goalkeeper hitting me in the ribs with his shoulder while I am in mid-air trying to avoid him. Today the Dr. confirmed that I don't have a broken rib, but boy, it really hurts – even sneezing is painful! Oh well, it could have been worst – I'll take a break from playing soccer and let it heal…

But what really, really hurt was seeing how Australia lost to Italia – unlucky defensive move…
