London games begin

My team and I started playing in our IGLFA gay soccer tournament in the heart of London today. This is a pic of the opening ceremony/party last night. There are about 32 men's teams and 5 women's, so that's a ton of gay soccer players! About half of them seem to be Brits and they've been pretty friendly to us Americans so far. As long as we don't use the word "soccer" instead of "football" - that seems to drive them crazy.

We tried to be good and get to bed at a decent hour but ended up having a little adventure trying to get home. Picadilly Circus isn't the easiest place to grab a cab at night after the Underground closes, though we did manage to find some great gyros.

First game today was a ton of fun - we tied 1-1 but also really gelled as a team and dominated the second half.
