I know. I feel it seeping into my thoughts. I couldn't catch the first and last games today (first one was too early, second one I couldn't get home in time) and I found myself really anxious to find out what was happening. I just really wish I knew the players. I feel so out of the loop - so much stuff to catch up on. I looked for a magazine special or something at the magazine stands, to kind of fill me in, and the only one I found was in Portugese. My mom's fluent in it, but I'd rather not have her read it to me.
I think I understand how the game works, pretty much. I get offsides and stoppage time, which confused the hell out of me at first. The rest, like penalties and stuff, seem to be less crucial to follow the game, so I'll read up on it later. I need to learn the important names and teams and stuff so I can feel like I know what's going on.
