August 14th 2010. To most people, this is just another Saturday -- wake up at 11 (ish)...haul your ass out of bed at 11:30...eat breakfast (lunch?)...go back to bed and watch tv...Holy shit! It's already 3pm?
This isn't my Saturday though. As of today, EPL starts again. Life starts again.
I've been involved with competitive soccer for as long as I can remember. Player, coach, fan - you name it, I've done it. I was never one to have the talent to make the pros, but the dream never dies. That's why the EPL season is so special to me, just as the NHL is to hockey players, the NBA to hoopsters, or the MMA to bad asses. Because you win and lose with YOUR team. If they score, you've scored too. If your player gets hurt, you start to hurt.
I know I'm never going to be playing for Man U...heck, I probably won't even ever go see a live game. But, whether I like it or not, my winter is going to be intrinsically tied to their winter. A good campaign is gonna be a fun ride for me. A rough season...well there's always next year right? Because the dream never dies.
