⚽Keep calm and pass it to Pirlo. Youth Coach at City SC Temecula and Futsal Club ⚽

[Angelo Fiorini @afiorini78]

Honoured to be invited to the inaugural Juventus Academy LA tournament. These Temecula United boys did the club proud competing in an environment where it was all about the players. The icing on the cake for them being able to meet the great @delpieroale #FinoAllaFine #Juventus

@SecondCaptains Positive rating for Ferguson v Como in Gazzetta today:

"Fighting, running, duels everywhere. Lively, most of all with his head. Seems like a different player. Great intensity even without the goal. "

[Angelo Fiorini @afiorini78]

@SecondCaptains long day ahead tomorrow for @saveciaranmurph! Big game at Soldier Field followed by a game 7 with Shohei pitching? @EoinMcDevitt @knbrmurph

@MundialMag @Tim_Vickery Perfect timing! My first ever trip to Rio coming up next month 🇧🇷⚽️

@MiguelDelaney @SecondCaptains @kenearlys thoughts on Vlahovic as an option for Arsenal? It's just not happening for him at Juve.

[Angelo Fiorini @afiorini78]

After a few failed attempts, finally made it to @BRBeatsOfficial, and it did not disappoint. @DecPierce your show kept us all going during tough times, and to experience your passion, dedication, and love for the music and your fans in person was the perfect end to our trip home.

RIP Totò Schillachi. Another Italian icon gone too early. Whether his exploits during those Notti Maghice are etched in your memory or you're not familiar with the impact he had this documentary with @GaryLineker is well worth a watch. Ciao Toto!🇮🇹

@DecPierce It is! Nice one! Love it here, too. After 10 years living in sunny California, we moved to Chicago in January, so back for a few rays!☀️

[Angelo Fiorini @afiorini78]

@DecPierce tuned in from Palm Springs, California, for Easter weekend. Can you play something from the Donnie Darko soundtrack? 🐰🤣 #blockrockinbeats

Capturing the meet and greet with Juve players at J Hotel, the walkabout stadium tour and the game itself. Photos don't do the experience justice. A special mention to @WMckennie who was a class act during the meet and greet, going out of his way to spend time with the fans.

Also, massive shout out to my man @JuveLA_ and @JuveLosAngeles for helping make this happen! A 24 hours that will not be forgotten!

I just experienced one of my first ‘full circle’ moments.

I bought this bottle of water on my train to Dublin and noticed the name - Tipperary.
Almost immediately, I began humming a tune. I searched “Tipperary song” on Google and learned that it was an old wartime song during World War 1.

There’s a backstory to this.

When my mother, brother and I arrived to Canada as refugees from Afghanistan, we didn’t know a word of English. My mother, having to work 3 jobs, entrusted us in the care of a Norwegian-Canadian woman named Marit. Other than her routine 5 am hug, I barely saw my mother throughout my childhood.

Marit was uncommonly kind to everyone she met. She was also dedicated to her church. While my mother focused on ensuring we maintained our Dari and Islamic values as children, Marit would also bring us to church on Sundays, welcoming us to her community. She always told us that Christians are brethren to the Muslim faith - we knew nothing but solidarity and respect as children.

Marit’s husband, Merrill, was Irish. It was a routine practice of his to sit on the porch of his house, staring blankly into the forest behind their suburban home, with a pipe in his mouth. “It’s a long way to Tipperary..” He would hum.

He would raise his arms like a conductor’s baton and usher my brother and I to join in.

Within a few months, you could mistake us for an Irish choir.

Now, at 28, I’m in Northern Ireland heading to Dublin, having just won an award as ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ for my work dedicated to my country of origin, Afghanistan.

My brother smiled solemnly to himself yesterday while we walked around Belfast. I asked him what he was thinking about.

“Wouldn’t it have been amazing if Merrill was with us right now?” My throat closed tightly.

I guess it really is a long way to Tipperary.

Hi Dec, can I get a shout out for the City SC Temecula girls U13 soccer team we're bringing from California to Ireland next week. We fly out from LAX on Sunday with stays in Tipperary, Limerick, Galway and Dublin playing friendlies and The Treaty Cup in UL. Beachball, Nalin and Kane if you can fit it in. I'll have them all tuned in next weekend😂 Thanks #BlockRockinBeats
