What does soccer and Eastern have in common
[for Dutch people only] Last Wednesday our son (Max, 7 years) did his first training on the local soccer club DHC. As a totally normal kid he ran from one side of the field to the other side for a dozen times without hitting the bal. Which kid is chancing the direction of the bal is not visible through the constant scrum around the bal. Anyway, today at diner Max was talking about giving somebody an ‘eischop’. After scanning the whole soccer dictionary there could only be one explanation. The trainer had said something like ‘Je moet de bal naar hem passen’ in which for a kid sounds the same as ‘Je moet hem een schopei geven’
