Sure I pee in jar and live in a box, but I scored two goals in the Homeless World Cup. In a sure sign that we've run out of ideas on how to solve the issue of homelessness in America and abroad, a task force in Gainesville, Fla., is attempting to sign up the home-impaired for a little kickabout.
The teams are built upon the premise that physical activity can help alcoholics and other substance-abusers stay sober, and that the structure of team practices and the accomplishment of working toward a goal can give a life new shape - a concept Lyons said deserves a shot in Gainesville.
And that's not all, an American team could have a shot at attending the Homeless World Cup, which is an actual tournament held in Copenhagen. Scotland are the 2007 Homeless Cup champions. This is the Cup (see right). Keeping with the spirit of the event, it looks as if they found it in the garbage. Also, it isn't, unfortunately, a cup, so the winners still haven't got a pot (or cup) to piss in. Forget the trophy, why don't you give the winners a house?
Here is the U.S. team (Hey, wait a minute. What's Maradona doing playing for the U.S.?):
