Soccer Night and the Sweetie's Film Choices

[przed]

The forecast was calling for thunderstorms tonight, and we were down five kids (including our best player), but the seven we had played a really scrappy game in spite of being on the field a lot. Ros even was really mixing it up and is starting to not overthink the dribbling. Yay! We still lost, 2 - 6, but given the fact that the other team's coach had one phenomenal player and was running actual strategy that sometimes even worked, I'd say we did pretty good.

In other news, the Sweetie has just informed me that he and his (also straight) film-going buddy are going to see Magic Mike tomorrow night. That's why I love 'im. Though I'm a bit bitter he'll get to see it before me. (I tried to go with a friend last night but it sold out. We saw the entirely lovely Moonrise Kingdom instead.)

Sounds like a good game and you are doing brilliantly ♥.

I really want to see it as well, quite frankly the pretty is calling to me.

I do know about brilliantly. If I was doing brilliantly, we might have won more than one game. :-/ But the kids are having fun, and that's really the main thing.

Moonrise Kingdom is utterly gorgeous to look at, in a mid-'60s kind of way. I'm sure you'll love it.

Nope I say you are doing brilliantly and therefore you are :D.

Seriously from your posts you are obviously getting the team playing together and enjoying themselves (which as you say is the best thing about it) and with 5 players down to score 2 goals is fantastic.

Given that, though I played footie for years I never did it in a formal league with actual practice or anything, I'm probably doing okay.

As for last night, I'm glad we got up to 7 players. At first we only had 5, which would have meant that all 5 of the poor little blighters would have been on the field for the whole game, and at this age that's pretty much not on. At least with 7 we could rotate 2 off at a time.
