Much ado about soccer

I hear of how guys like their babes to know a thing or two about soccer and that's all fine and dandy, as long as he doesn't expect me to know more than two things. You see try as I might, I've never been big on sports. Oh sometimes I could watch basketball...the way the players prance around the court, hot as they look, muscles ripping, chest heaving...*wipes sweat*...I could definitely watch basketball!

However, when it comes to soccer, all I see is one fine boy(Theo Walcott), passing the ball to that african guy (Adebayor), and that afin/albino guy if you wish (Scholes) intercepting it and passing the ball on to Rooney (yes I know Rooney...gimme some credit people) who takes a shot at the net and hey...GOAL BALL!!! I'm sorry I could never keep track of all the names and faces. I think am an Arsenal fan though. Atleast my last boyfriend was an Arsenal fan *shrugs*.

Anyway back to the field, soccer gets tiring at times. But you wanna know when it doesn't. Whenever Nigeria is playing. Boy, don't try me! I turn football expert, commentator, analyst and critic all at once (Oh yes..I threw a tantrum during that whole "Kaita" saga). I get REALLY passionate whenever Nigeria is on the field...I'm patriotic like that :D

The only other times football wasn't boring? The last two episodes of Fun Turf Soccer Fiesta. I guess it had something to do with the fact that the players were of my age range (not all them granddads claiming football ages...we see you Yakubu). The events organized by the Tactics IQ team were a fusion of football, people, fun and food and boy was it a great time!

There was always something interesting happening. If the Beatfm team were not losing; Seyitan, Jola and Debola were taking penalty shots; Mofe and Mr. Faf were fooling around with the mic; we (Tayo and I) were getting barbeque, gisting with friends, having a laugh at some peoples' dress senses; introducing ourselves to some of our twitfam who were in attendance; shuffling to the music or just trying to/not to give that cute guy eye contact. Whichever the case, the last two soccer fiestas organised by the Tactics IQ team were off the chain and with #TIQSF (Tactics IQ Soccer Fiesta) Season 3 coming up on August 6th...me ayaff kukuma go and buy my parry dress...(more like I've made my outfit...AYABA's gonna be in the house..whoop whoop!).

So people clear your calenders, the date is August 6th 2011; the day is Saturday; the Event is Tactics IQ Soccer Fiesta; the Venue is the newly refurbished, state of the art Campos Mini Stadium (on Catholic Mission Street Lagos Island); the time is 12pm, the fee is N2000 and the whole package promises to be ON POINT!!!

So whether you're there to cheer on your favourite team, set summer P, cop some AYABA items, or just ogle the fine boys like I do...It's #TIQSF baby!!!
