Sunday's Game - In the Heat! Parkdown 2 Chaos 0

Wow, sun, no subs, Kirsten and Sarah on the sidelines, Paula at the lake, Barb in net, Lila in net, Deb gets injured, Janet comes late, no goals, no water breaks, and no beer afterwards!  Soccer - What a great game!!

I am just proud because I kept them away, held my ground and challenged them, as a goalie. Soccer fever has hit us as world cup began on Friday. I think we all had a tiring but excellent game. Colleen, Linda, Sharon all made great attempts with feeds from Jan Smith, Jane and Lori in midfield. With Deb gone someone covered the hole. Our great defense kept them offside due to Jen, Anna and Barb's agility. It all looked good from my point of view. I came out of the net to look larger, as Wade taught me in indoor and somehow it was close enough to get to the ball before them. However, I am glad my turn in net was over.

For any other views of the game, you'll have to send in comments or email me and I'll copy it!

Are We Playing Tonight???? - Extreme Rain Pours All Day

After a frantic phone call to our manager Sarah, Lila showed up at the game, played for 2 minutes and scored!! A few great crosses to the forwards, Dianne, Colleen, Lori went unfinished. The wind kept us all moving, and kept the ball, out of bounds! Janet's foot moves were unbelievable. She should be dancing, after all, she's getting old!! (Birthday BBQ tonight!)
Here is Janet's trainer:


That's all that happened. No headers/goals by Anna this game. No arguing with the ref by Lila. No offsides by Colleen & Paula. No great saves by Linda. That was last game!

Blogging has been behind lately, or maybe there has been nothing to blog about since Lila has not scored until now. It was a beautiful chip over the goalie with a nice outside pass from Colleen. Deb did a high kick or two and as Deb later commented, "Suck it up, Buttercup"!

After the game, in a local establishment, we all decided that Paula does look her age of 51 whereas the rest of us 47 year olds are looking younger by the minute, or by the pitcher!

Here is a reenactment of Lila's goal:
