Soccer friendly


What a great time last night. Our Total FC soccer team played a friendly with Columbus High School in Columbus. We only had 10 players so we had to borrow a keeper from them. Of course they gave us a 9th grade kid that weighed maybe 140 pounds soaking wet. To his credit he played a really nice game.

We have a few guys on our team that are incredibly good. As a result we jumped out early and never really looked back. I think we won probably 10-3 or 10-2. I thought we controlled the ball at times and made several really good runs. I felt much more comfortable and played my best game back. There is not a better feeling when playing defense than making the sliding tackle when the forward is inside the 18 with an empty net because the keeper got caught out of position on the other side. There is just something awesome about sports, team sports in particular, when you make a great play and the rest of the team runs over to help you up and congratulate you. Really cool feeling.

Anyway, it was a lot of fun. Pretty sure I re-injured my left quad but nothing several motrin and a wrap can't cure!

Unfortunately as great as last night was, it's back to the reality of it's only Thursday. Wow, how is it only Thursday?
