So Rambino v2, who is now almost 8, joined a competitive soccer league last month.  He had been playing rec soccer for a while, and we had resisted the commitment required for a competitive team, but we finally took the plunge.
 
They just finished a multi-day tournament, and took first place out of 11 teams - final match was this morning.  Very tough matches in the semi-final and final match, but it's a heckuva team. 
 
And - most relevantly, Rambino v2 was the match MVP for the final match.  So apparently he is a pretty good soccer player.

We do in fact have one - but it is on permanent ban from everything.  Rambino v3 wouldn't stop blowing on it, all the time, in the house - preferably near someone's ears.

As he plays defense, that doesn't happen too often - although he did manage two on Saturday.
 
So instead of "gooooaaaaalllll" it's mostly sighs of relief when he makes a play.

You're a very lucky guy. My parents sighed in relief when I didn't screw up a play.

Ironically, we have been practicing hard to lose the spin he naturally puts on the ball, and instead to kick a dead ball.

Indeed - although my particular problem is that this is the first time he is doing any competitive activity where I am not the official coach (or at least assistant coach).  So I lurk withing earshot of huddles so I can hear coach's instructions and yell accordingly during games - because I am yelling very specific instructions, and I would rather not contradict what the coach is telling them to do.
 
Of course, I have an advantage in that nobody else understands what I am yelling...
 
But overall, I have concluded that American sports parents are psycho, and I am probably included in that category as well.
 
That said, it is fun - particularly because he actually is good.

'soccer'? Really? You should know better.

Vuvuzelas only appeared at the last world cup and havent been seen/heard since before that we were content with offensive songs and a fight.
