Serie A POTM: See the nominees and vote for your favorite

Alright, listen up, y’all! Gonna tell ya ’bout this here… uh… “See-ree-ay Aye Pot-em” thing. Don’t rightly know what all them letters mean, but it’s somethin’ ’bout them soccer fellas, the ones kickin’ the ball around.

So, they got this monthly thing, see? Like pickin’ the best outta the bunch. Kinda like when we used to have that county fair and pick the biggest pumpkin, only this time it’s for them soccer players. They got some fancy names, these fellas. One of ’em, sound like “Kwa-rat-skelia” or somethin’. Hard to say, but boy, he can run! And that other fella, “Too-ram,” he’s pretty good too, I reckon. They play for different teams, but they both good at kickin’ that ball.

Them fellas, they all playin’ in somethin’ called “See-ree-ay Aye.” Sounds like a fancy place, but I bet it ain’t got nothin’ on my garden, that’s for sure! Anyways, they got this team, “Nah-po-lee,” and they’re doin’ real good, sittin’ on top. Just like my chickens on the roost, top of the pecking order, ha!

Now, they got this game, see? “Eff See Twenty-Four,” they call it. It ain’t like no game I ever seen. You play it on that computer thing, or maybe it’s that phone thing, I don’t rightly know. My grandson, he’s always fiddlin’ with that stuff. Anyways, in that game, you get to vote for who you think is the best player of the month. You know, the “Pot-em” fella.

They had one for that “Octo-ber” month, and now they doin’ it again for “No-vem-ber.” Seems like they always votin’ for somethin’ these days. Back in my day, we just worked, ain’t no time for votin’ on no games. But I guess it’s what the young folks do nowdays.

So, first, they pick some fellas, the best ones, I guess.
Then, you go on that “Eff See Twenty-Four” website thingy and vote.
And then, they tell you who won. Simple as that, even I can understand it.

This “Pot-em” thing, it’s a big deal to them soccer fans. They get all riled up ’bout who’s the best. Reminds me of that time old man Johnson and old man Smith argued ’bout whose pig was fatter. Went on for days, they did! But these soccer folks, they do it on the internet now. Times sure have changed.

I still don’t rightly know what all them letters mean, but I guess it’s important to them. Just like my tomatoes are important to me, or that prize-winning rooster I had last year. He was a champion, that rooster, just like these “Pot-em” fellas, I suppose.

Anyways, that’s the gist of it. They pick the best soccer player every month, and you get to vote on it. It’s all done on that computer thing, and folks get real excited about it. More excitin’ than watchin’ paint dry, I guess, but still not as excitin’ as a good old-fashioned barn raisin’! That’s somethin’ to really get the blood pumpin’!

So next time you hear someone talkin’ ’bout “See-ree-ay Aye Pot-em,” you’ll know what they’re jabberin’ about. It’s just them soccer folks pickin’ their best player. Nothin’ more, nothin’ less.
