Kalmar FF - National soccer champions!







Last spring we were invited to a challenge by our local newspaper. They wanted us to challenge the players in Kalmar FF, the Swedish soccer champions last season. The challenges were not soccer, but playing cards, spelling, singing, knocking down cans with a tennis ball, catching balloons filled with water, European capitals etc. We won 8 of the 15 challenges and beat the champions! The prizes were free tickets and seats for the whole class for the match versus Hammarby from Stockholm in the national league. Kalmar FF won 3-0 and we were allowed to join them into the locker room directly after the match for autographs, souvenirs, taking photos and interviews. The match was especially interesting becuse it was the last match for #18 Rasmus Elm before joining Aalkmar in the Dutch professional league.
This time the national radio, press and tv had to wait until we were ready!
