Footie: Game Four

[przed]

World Cup starts in a couple of days, and it was soccer night for us. And a lovely night it was. We're definitely, finally, and at long last into summer now, and it was an absolutely perfect night for a game: a bit muggy but not too hot, and no rain in sight.

We were a bit less dominant that we have been, but we managed to hold things together for a 3 - 2 win. We had two new volunteers again for goalkeeper, including one of our twins. They both did well, but each let in a goal. In both cases they were hard goals to stop. All three of our goals were from the same girl, who astoundingly hasn't played in a league until this year. She's definitely picked up on the game quickly. And Ros was as scrappy as ever and really got in there to stop the other team whenever possible.

Two of Ros' good friends from school were on the other team, and they occasionally came over to our side and took turns picking Ros up. (The curse of being one of the smallest kids in your grade. It's giving me flashbacks. I had friends who thought it was funny to pick me up as late as uni.)

I had friends like that, too! I still have to swat one or two away before they think it is funny to lean on my head. Grr.

World Cup: I am woefully ill-prepared. I have read an article comparing the anthems of all the teams, and that's about it. I need to pick a random team to support, I suppose...

Well, at least I'm not the only one. (I think I'd prefer being leaned on to being lifted up. *g*)

I've done even less than you on the World Cup front. I reckon I'll support England until they're kicked out. Then maybe it'll be whoever puts on the best show in Toronto. (Whole chunks of the city get shut down during every World Cup. I live near Greektown, and when Greece won a few times ago I could hear the entire neighbourhood screaming from a friend's backyard, and the whole area was impassable all day.)
