It would be nice to hear those words, but my team does not play in the winter. So I did the next best thing.
Eliptical anyone? With a side of soccer. Literally.
Rey introduced me to ESPN360, which does live broadcasts of a smattering of sporting events, including soccer. Rey pays attention to schedules and teams he would like to watch. I just hope there is a game on, or more likely, available in replay.
I was able to set the computer up next to the elliptical (on the high stool we got for playing the bass), and voila. The vision lines are not perfect, but not bad either. I set it on 3 and went for the first half (45 minutes).
The game I got to watch today was Barcelona v Tenerife (Spanish Primera Division). Barcelona is apparently the cream of the crop, but Tenerife looked better for the first 20 minutes. Then it got chippy, and then Barcelona got serious. They scored at 36 minutes, 44 minutes and in extra time in the first half. The second half has just started, and I plan to watch this half sitting down.
It did give me a goal, which I always need when I get much beyond 15 minutes of working out. This will help on these dark and damp evenings.

How about Messi’s third goal?

It was too open. They were just overmatched. I laughed at the attempted bicycle kick. Looked more like an attempt I would make, except that he did hit the ball with his foot, and was able to get back up off of the ground afterwards.
