FOR WORLD SOCCER FANS: REAL MADRID PLAYS MATCH VS. 109 CHILDREN IN CHINA--GOTTA LOVE IT!!!

Richard Kigel · Tuesday, August 9th 2011 at 12:15PM · 871 views
To honor the 109 years of the club's storied existence, Real Madrid played a soccer match against 109 children in China. And don't worry, Madridistas, Los Blancos triumphed over their youthful foes.

Throughout their preseason tour of Asia, Cristiano Ronaldo and his Real Madrid teammates were given terrific support by local fans, and this was definitely a wonderful farewell gesture before returning home.

Although the Madrid players did have to be mindful of knocking over any of the children, at least they didn't have to worry that one of them was going to score a stunning overhead goal like the one that Chivas midfielder Marco Fabian netted against Barcelona, Real Madrid's main rival in Spain, during another recent exhibition.

I love it! Those kids were like the little munchins in the Wizard of Oz.I can't wait to start my little one in soccer, because I think this is a wonderful sport (not to mention that I want to be an international soccer mom)!

Go Jen!!!!

Yes, as a dad and a teacher I always try to get parents to enroll their tykes in soccer, especially, because it requries no special equipment (except sneakers) and no special skills other than two feet.

Kids love it. They do lots of running around and once in a while they actually touch the ball!

You will make a great soccer mom!!!

"AND THE CHILD SHALL LEAD YOU"...

Watching our youngest play sports is just as amusing as watching them try to run before they can actually walk... the self pride in them being able to do this is priceless. lol (smile)
