Fußball (Soccer!)



Soccer, or Fußball (foos-ball, translates to football) as it's called over here, is a BIG deal.  Mason wasn't too interested in it back home, but quickly learned that soccer is the way to a boy's heart here in Deutschland!  They play it before school, during recess and after school.  They have soccer practice, soccer games and soccer birthday parties.  I don't know much about the game, but I'm quickly learning!

Mason is playing U-12 soccer this year on one of his school's soccer teams.  They practice and play in all weather conditions.  There are no rain delays or weather-related cancellations.  Freezing outside?  Put on some winter gear under your uniform.  Wet outside?  Who cares - enjoy the rain and mud and hope your mom has some good stain remover for your uniform.

That's Mason on the right - #6



These two aren't too interested in watching the games so they make their own fun.
