I'm officially jealous. As I mentioned previously in the blog, Rob writes her own blog on behalf of the Washington Freedom (Women's Professional Soccer). She is a credentialed member of the press. She gets on field access and the ability to interview the players after the game. Last night The Freedom beat the New Jersey team (the Sky Blue) 3-1. After the game Rob went to a sports bar with members of both teams. Above is a picture of her and Heather O'Reilly. Heather is a member of the USA national team and has won 2 gold medals with the USA Olympic squad. Quite impressive.Today (Sunday) our little sports reporter is off to DC to see Real Madrid play DC United. Men's soccer, in case you didn't know! She was able to get a press pass for this game, so once again, she will have on field access and the ability to interview and take pictures of of the likes of Raul, Kaka and Ronaldo. Who has her luck? Pat, are you reading this? Even though Ronaldo left Man United for Real Madrid, Rob still wants a picture and her Man U Ronaldo shirt autographed.
By the way. This game is called "football", not soccer. It's played with feet and is the most popular game world wide. Get over it.
Carpe Diem.
It is definitely "football" as you say. The American game should be called "handball".
ReplyDeleteThe term "soccer" comes from the abbreviation of the full name of the game-"association football" or "assoc" football, hence "soccer".
Well done to Robyn. You go girl!
Its not our fault that the rest of the world never got past " look mom no hands". Its not a real sport unless you have to wear a helmet.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on her getting that kind of access, looks like she is having a great time.

To be honored by a mention in the blog has greatly enhanced both my private and professional reputation. What a gig for Robyn. That looks like Dr. J. behind Ronaldo. Still looking forward to South Africa in 2010.
