Exciting Football in Bleiburg
Played by unpaid amateurs with Enthusiasm

...a packed defense and a sure-grip keeper...

One of many nail biting goal-mouth actions during a game
of two amateur clubs.

This free kick, taken by a rank amateur who plays for the love of the game
barely sailed over the wall and rattled off the cross bar.
A couple of inches lower and we would have screamed:
"Goooooooooal.
That same evening I saw several Millionaires take free kicks
 from about the same distance and the ball each time
 sailed  mile-high over the cross bar.
In this amateur game, the midfield is simply the area
one must fight through
in order to get to the opponent's goal.
In the "Millionaire's game" the ball gets passed
in their half of the  midfield 100 times...
back and forth...back and forth,
until ball possession is lost, whereupon the
Millionaires in the other colored shirts
 do the same in their half.
Exciting Soccer ???
Gimme a break !!!
