Soccer

Last night was my second game. I thought I played better than the first week. I was able to keep my shifts much closer to 2 minutes. I kept telling myself, if you are too tired to make the run get off the field. I was able to extend my scoring lead over The General. He was unable to tally a goal or an assist. I only managed one goal. I give and go where I was just able to get my left toe on the ball in the box to poke it past the keeper. I missed two fairly open shots in the first half. And at the end of the game with maybe 15 seconds left, I had pretty much a break away on the goalie. I tired to nutmeg him and he blocked it. But the ball came right back to me, so I tried a second nutmeg and that didn't work either. I believe the final score was 7-4. Our defense played much better, and as far as my defense goes, we only gave up one goal while I was on the field. A big thank you goes out to Julie, Nick, Griffin and Mark who stayed to watch my game.
