The girls had great games yesterday, even if they were losses. Wren’s team played the best half they’ve ever played, full of energy, working together (there were even good passes!), getting a 4 to 1 lead, before they ran out of steam (with only one sub) and the lead slipped away (4-5 final). Reiley’s team had to deal with an early score from the opponent, but then the offense and the forward defender kept the ball on the other side of the field the rest of the game. Unfortunately, the other team went all-defense after their first score, and even with dozens of attempts we couldn’t get a hard shot past them (0-1 final).
Now that the girls are finishing up soon, I may be able to get to the adult games (which are also on Saturday mornings). I’m going to try to ride my bike every day I can so this old man can keep up enough to injure himself (we’ll see how far I can get on that goal).
And then there’s the World Cup! I’m going to try to watch as much of it as I can, certainly the US, UK and Brazillian teams. Maybe it’s time to start calling it football…
