GOOOOOOOOoooaaal!

I actually got to see exactly this up close and personal last night. What a good feeling. We still got pummeled, but I got the only goal for our team, and it was a beauty.

Gold takes it to the outside, pushes up-Red tries to defend but can't get their
feet on it. The goalie, frustrated, comes out of the box for a save
and..MISSES! Mario crosses right in front of the net and it's...TAPPED IN
BY AMANDA!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOaaall! GOOOOOOOooooaaaal!!!! Beautiful
teamwork.

Looks like I'll be playing forward more often, well, for our last 3 games. I highly doubt we'll make it to the playoffs with our 0-3 record, but I'm starting to actually have fun out there even while losing miserably. I am taking on a Cubbie-like attitude, looking to our future seasons for success.

At one point I was laughing so hard I could hardly see because my teammate (Mario, that got the assist) was teasing a girl on the other team who kept squealing every time she had the ball and anyone got near her. He would yelp, or bark, or something, and from the other end of the field I'd hear "EEeek! Eeek!" It was hilarious. It reminded me of the time in high school on my indoor team that a girl on the other team tried to psych me out on a free kick by doing a little 'ooga-booga' dance in front of me. I just laughed, looked back at her and did the same thing back-even the audience of parents was laughing. I never understood what she thought I would do.

Onward, fellow footy lovers, and hopefully upward.
