Musoma Soccer

Soccer, while not a huge sport in the States, is a huge sport in many other parts of the world. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing soccer every Sunday for the past few years. I'm not good yet, but I'm way better than I used to be.

Every so often we have an office soccer game. We leave work around 3pm on a Friday, head to the field and all play together for a couple hours. It is great for building teamwork and relationships.

My Dutch colleagues are returning to the Netherlands for a few months, so we had an office soccer game this past Friday to say goodbye to them. Go orange & black!!!

It is always nice to have others from the office on the sidelines cheering us on, or heckling as the case may be. I was reminded by one of my Tanzanian colleagues that I scored on my own team during my final soccer game before returning to the States. I'm not going to live that down.

In conclusion, soccer is a wonderful and fun sport. It builds unity and teamwork, offers opportunities for heckling, and is all around a great way to spend a couple hours of your day.
