Kevan Lee’s soccer fantasy? Not finishing last
When did my fantasy sports hobby become an unhealthy fascination? Yesterday, when I signed up for fantasy soccer.
I’m still not sure why I did it, although boredom, curiosity, and self-loathing are popular theories. As a veteran of fantasy football (you can read of my exploits here, here, here, and here), I have a pretty good history with fantasy games, so perhaps I thought this was a good idea.
We’ll see.
I know very little about soccer, so the prospect of matching wits with hooligans across the country makes me more than a little leery of my chances. Mostly, I just don’t want to get embarrassed. Here are the rest of my goals:
- Not finish last. I am in a pool with Houston Dynamo fans and America. I am counting on someone knowing less about soccer than I do.
- Start Brian Ching every week. Ching is my favorite player and one of the ten I can name.
- Beat B Squared. If my fantasy nemesis is playing fantasy soccer, I will find him. And I will beat him.
- Figure out how the scoring works. I should probably move this up the list.
