Thats right, last night was tuesday night soccer! Wow, that was quite possibly one of the most intense games i've played in my last two years with MA soccer! starting off, i really didnt know what to expect out of east wilkes. i didnt really remember playing them from the previous year, and no one had seen them play this year. this game started off like many others, a rush of nervousness, followed by the intensity soccer brings. we scored in the first 15 minutes off a nice assist from oswaldo and goal from michael. the details get kind of hazy from here, since i cant really remember the order of the rest of the goals. i think wilkes tied it 1-1 and we scored making it 2-1. i think they scored two more, making it 3-2, until we tied it up at 3-3. wilkes scored again making it 4-3 with about 15 minutes left in the second half. we scored for the final time, tying the game at 4-4. the second half is where we let the game get away from us, and we played one of the worst halves i can remember. however, even though it was a tie, it felt awesome to play that hard, and maintain an intensity ive never played at for that long before. overall, i think that was one of my personal best games ever. The REALLY big news is that i got my first ever yellowcard in a game! i couldnt believe it! there were about 4 minutes left in the last half of overtime, and i did a slide tackle on the captain of the other team. i touched the ball and turned it into a slow roller that we cleared. however, the ref. ran up and pulled out his yellowcard, not even talking to me! i couldnt believe it! he said i slid for the legs, but i knew the only way i could touch the ball was with a hard, fast tackle! oh well, thinking about it reminds me how much i dont like that ref! oh well, it was still a really fun game! i faked a few people out, which felt so aweseome, since its something i dont get a chance to do very often, and plus i think i impressed coach, which is always a bonus! one of my favorite moments was when i was dribbling up the field and one of the opposing players tried to slide tackle me. it was awesome because i was able to perfectly cut to my left around him! he was left on the ground and i was able to make a good pass upfield! it was just awesome to see him on the ground as i ran by, plus that look of "how did he get around me?" on his face was priceless! anyway, thats all for today guys, stay cool and remember, always play nice with the other kids at school! adieu!
