Angus sat and stared westward. He drained the last mouthful from the still curiously tall can, watched the waves lap gently at the sand - half-frowned, reached between his legs and watched with what he imagined was detached indifference as the palm of his hand moved across the rock he sat on.
It stopped, paused against his chair's moss covered surface, and tried willfully to disengage.
Angus smirked ruefully at its dissent, and he studied the wind, water and time-marked pocked hollows, fingers exploring them, wondering.
He looked back up at the sky, hand still sub-consciously feeling the stone, not ready to relinquish or lift and leave well enough alone - a mind of its own.
He rose and his hand gave in. He didn't sniff or swallow, he clenched his jaw, scowled, turned south and thought "fucking rock is like a house I used to live in...don't look back Angus, you're up now just keep walking."
Heading south, he slowed, peering at the nearby lights and his ears prickling against the sound of accompanying voices, he turned abruptly, a hundred and eighty degrees, and walked away from everything.
The sea-breeze blew salt water into his eyes, and the still curiously tall can was crushed by a mix of anger and frustration.

The goalie(keeper?) uses his hands, hence your argument is invalid.
Real football is American football. Because you can't play without a kicker.

I don't know what to say about this review, except for please don't take this as the American standard for thoughts on "European Football" AKA soccer. Some of us love soccer. Some of us blew out our knees while trying to play it when we were younger. Some of us made great halfbacks & goalies.
Some of us quit, because there was too much running around.

You all just make your games up as they go along. Football was football long before egg kicking and tossing commenced in America.
haha awsome.

Right, we improved your gay game and out of a sense of honor didn't change the name and you bitch about it. I'll accept your apology in your next review.

American football isn't exactly worldwide, I would imagine far more countries have professional football(soccer) leagues.

soccer is pretty dumb, all right.
btw, if we were all named after our most intrinsic quality, there'd be far too many joe jerks-off-constantly's and mathilda bitch-whore's walking the earth.

soccer is the saddest excuse for sport ever invented. I'd rather watch extreme dungeons and dragons than soccer.

Its football, not soccer - you use your feet for the whole game.

A little too subtle for me. I generally need things spelled out in more detail. What was the still curiously tall can? One of those 16 oz. beers?

I really enjoy this type of piece, and it's not always as easy to write as it might seem- short on words, but evocative with good imagery.
So, who wrote this one?
