"Lions" in blue
Singapore just played Thailand in the 1st leg final of the Asean Soccer tournament. The boys gathered at san-yi's house to watch the game. I was not there but I could tell Ian picked up a little about local soccer from that outing. Just a little......
I was at home watching a Chelsea game and Ian asked me...
Ian: Singapore playing again?
Me: No.... this is Chelsea.
Ian: But they are wearing blue jersey what??
Me: Many teams wear blue jersey. Not just Singapore For example....Everton......... Portsmouth......
Ian: Huh??
Me: Never mind. This is not Singapore. We are playing again on Sunday.
Ian: Then Singapore will wear blue jersey?
Me: I don't think so. Now we are playing in away in Thailand. We should be wearing another colour.
Ian: Why? I like blue.
Me: (I was thinking of a simple way to explain and Chelsea scored)
Ian: Goal! Go Singapore...!!
Me: This is not Singapore!
Ian: Yes... it's blue!
Soccer is such a beautiful game. No point confusing a 4-year old boy over jerseys at the start of his interest for the game.
