GOAL!

On the way out of Charlie's nursery today we bumped into someone we know and quickly the conversation turned to football and lasts nights game between Real Madrid and Barcelona with Messi's wonder goal being the hot topic.

As we were walking away the 101 questions from Charlie started. Who's Messi? Why is he the worlds best footballer? Does he play for Hearts daddy? Does he always score? How many goals has he scored? Does he play every day? Why is it the best goal? How did he score it daddy? Why did he score daddy?

One question he kept asking was how did he score if he ran straight through the other team. So the easiest and simplest way I thought of explaining this to a four year old would be with the help of LEGO.
