		<description>lol - those are great.

btw, while I haven&#039;t heard of any plans, do you think we can plan a Euro-blooger match, maybe even a team? I figure we can get Raymond and Roberto since they&#039;ll have a lot of free time on their hands soon.</description>

		<description>The coaches each hold a football between their legs. Players of the opposite team can shoot balls at them in turns. No restrictions, the players can aim at anything while the coaches are allowed to &quot;waggle&quot; around. The coach that lets the ball between their legs touch the soil first loses.</description>
