QWK KCKS is our way of helping you get your day started with a refreshing blast of football culture right in your face.
| PHOTO: MITT FOLLOWS THE FIRST RULE BY KEEPING HIS EYE ON THE BALL. |
Mitt and Ann Romney took time out from their campaigning thing to watch little Mitt Jr. Jr. (sorry, I don’t know the grandsons’s name) play soccer. Woo!
| THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MOST OF YOU WILL BE OKAY WITH SOMETHING INVOLVING THE HANDS BEING CALLED ‘SOCCER.’ |
In Ghana, a variation of the game called “skate soccer” lets physically disabled men compete. Unlike most versions for the physically disabled, this one involves the use of the hands. // A Football Report
| FIRST OF ALL ‘ROMARINHO’ IS TOUGH TO SAY FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS. SECOND, UH DUH. |

| I VOTE FOR COMPLETELY SARCASTIC TWO-HANDED HANDSHAKE. OVER THE TOP FAKE GUY STYLE. |
Anton Ferdinand didn’t shake hands with John Terry or Ashley Cole, but it couldn’t stop the football. I was afraid for a second. // Dirty Tackle

Good week/Bad week brings us a photo of Djibril Cisse that makes me wonder if he’s just messing with us. Probably not, which is scary. // Kickette
| PHOTO: CURRENTLY RESISTING THE URGE TO MAKE SOME KIND OF CROCODILE DUNDEE REFERENCE. |
Australia is more than Crocodile Dundee, Men at Work, and vegamite. I know that. Still hard not to make the jokes.

| ALL OF THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES LOVE SOCCER, WHICH CLEARLY MEANS IT’S AMERICA’S GAME OF CHOICE. |
The above is a thing I tell myself, even when I know that access to quality coaching is too limited and most of the adult population wouldn’t know a Rabona from a Cruyff. Give it 30 years. Follow KCKRS and like KCKRS. Mitt and Barrack would if they knew we existed.
