update

well as the dollar keeps falling every morning you wake up and feel like you were just robbed some more, what a feeling. we have not had a game in 3 weeks and nobody shows up to practice it is getting pretty frustrating we barely won our last game and i thought people would be mad and want to come out and get better but that is not the case. i have met the
other americans that are playing football over here and they spend there days playing playstation in their bedrooms which is not interesting to me at all. One thing that is interesting about them is they walk around town like they are superstars which is funny to me because maybe they get 100 people to a game and most of those are former players and family. we play in the catalonian final this weekend and i am hoping that we have a good performance but with the lack of player knowledge it will be interesting how the plays we have installed will work. i have been consistently getting the response that this is spain very similar to leos line in blood diamon "this is africa". i do not understand that thinking, it is one thing to play just to be a part of something but i do not sense that feeling of determination. pregame people are excited but about 5 minutes into the game people take themselves out and nurse sore calfs on the sideline talking to their girlfriends. they like to come in when we are winning and doing well but nobody likes taking the tough snaps. after the games people are thrilled with a victory like everywere but i there is not a determination to improve which is very frustrating. hopefully this week we will get more people out at practice, but as it is the week following easter most people will probably be nursing their hangovers from the 5 days of partying that they have been doing. you have to give them credit these people do know how to celebrate i just have not seen that will to better their current position which does not sit well with me.
