Americans star in Coca Cola Premiership

Howdy Y’all

The Easter Soccer fixtures have already started with Fox Sports showing the Liverpool Blues vs Fulham, a match-up that included 3 US players (Fulham’s defenseman Carlo Bocablanco and centre-offense Bobby McBride and Everton’s goalminder Frankie Howard).

Pretty soon, Fulham (this is the franchise owned by Princess Di’s father Al Fired who also owns the London branch of Bloomingdales) were a point up thru our very own Bocablanco, but Liverpool Blues fought right back with three quick points from Lee Crassly (he’s the referee’s twin brother, which seems a bit strange), Alan Stabbs and new young star offenseman Frankie Vaughan. How the famous Anfield Kop (so called because there’s always police officers in the crowd to stop them standing up and singing Beatles songs) saluted that point.

Pa insisted that we channel surf to PBS who were showing Tiger Woods in the US Masters (from our home State of Texas!), but I can tell you that Liverpool Blues notched another field goal to run out winners by 4 points to 1.


Tomorrow we’re off on the railroad to visit Edinboro, the capital city of Ireland where I am told every soccer fan supports the Texas Rangers or the Boston Celtics depending on whether they are Mormons or the other one.

I still don’t know whether to go to College here or back in the States. The admissions tutors ain’t interested in me until Pa talks about his Foundation back in Georgia, then they seem to think I’m right suited to studying anything.

Bye y’all.

It is becoming tedious having to correct so much of this MouthoftheMississippi's postings.

Anfield's famous Spion Kop is named after a battle in the Crimean War where a handful of English held off the Russian Communists at Porke's Drift. Spion Kop refers the the hill from which the English did their "Spyin'" on the Russians. The high terrace at Anfield reminded the franchise owners of the hill and hence it was called Spion Kop.

Liverpool Blues are soon moving to a new stadium in Stanley Park named after the Battle of Port Stanley where the brave English fought for control of the Falkland Islands in 1978 against the troops of Chilean President General Rattin.

What kind of GPA gets you to college these days?
