Soccer time!

Right next to our park are several soccer fields (with artificial plastic grass to make it through the hot summers). Soccer is pretty big here - for girls! Maybe Beckham will change that - making it "cool" even for boys.

I like soccer (used to play myself when I was a little girl (ages ago), wasn't very good but it was fun being part of that team) - and since you see it so rarely here I like having those fields close by.

"Korpfotboll" - don't know the specific word for that in English - meaning "mixed teams with amateurs playing tournaments" sort of - is pretty big here too. So the fields are well used and the lights at night lights up the whole neighborhood.

But today when we walked to the park there was a tournament - teenage girls everywhere!
