Cheers for Football!!!


Almost one month has past since I arrived at Oxford. One of my expectations before I came here was to feel British football culture. after my arrival, I've played nearly ten times at university park. Of course, that not necessarily means I already can assess English football, since I have not seen Blues and College teams. However, through playing with native ppl, I got some feeling of the football culture here.

Firstly, ppl here focus on attack. I saw very seldom passing back. Most of the cases, it is direct passes and long passes.

Secondly, ppl here are very polite. you can always hear "Sorry, man!" for a not very good pass. After game, ppl tend to say "Tks for the game." to each other.

Thirdly, international profile. I've already played with ppl from Brazil/Italy/Rassia/Albania/Saudi/Columbia..... So you can feel the different football culture here.

I am quite sure I will find more about football during my stay here.
