Teacher Football-Take 1

I have been told that in previous years the teachers at my school were very active in sports, as in playing other schools or organizations in different sports. This year the men wanted to start that up again.
We decided that our first opponents should be the teachers of a nearby school. We wrote a letter to the school and the matches were approved and set.
On game day Friday we didn’t have classes after lunch because we teachers needed to prepare ourselves. For the last few days we had been practicing, you see this was not some friendly match, this was serious business.
Although I had been practicing with the teachers and I really wanted to play I decided on the day of that it was better if I didn’t play. To be honest I wasn’t sure how hard-core of a match this was going to be, so I figured it was better if I just went as a spectator.
After we had organized all the uniforms (note I lent 3 pairs of shoes to my fellow teachers, cause I have big feet and they can wear mine..haha) and such we loaded into our school bus and headed over to the other school.
Once we got there we met the other teachers, and in typical fashion we then waited around for a while since we didn’t know what and when things would start.
It ended up that we played a teacher match of volleyball first. I’m sad to say my teachers got creamed by this other school.
After the volleyball match it was time for the main purpose of the visit—the football match.
By this time the school day was over so most of the students of the other school were there to watch. They even had a PA system with students being announcers. Even these students took it seriously, they commented on the game in at least 4 languages, constantly switching, so everyone could have an idea of what was going on, not to mention it was just funny for them to keep switching languages.
Watching the game was a lot of fun because not only did I know all the teachers from my school, but I knew many of the teachers from the other school. It was a fierce competition because most of the men were friends so they wanted to show their friends up..
In the end my school won, which made us super excited. After the match we took pictures and then went for some food and drinks together.
Overall it was a great time and we agreed that in the next term we would have to do it again.
