Last night we had our championship game at the Lanco. Field House. We won 2-1! It was a pretty tough game since the teams were pretty well matched.
Stupid me got a yellow card. First I tackled a guy (which was all ball) and then the guy fell on me. The said I never played the ball… I said to him, “you have to be kidding me.” I don’t think he liked that too much. Then right after that, from the free kick, the same guy had the ball right in front of the net. So, I slid in front of him to block the shot. I had not intention of slide tackling him, I was just trying to block the shot. I never even touched the guy! He gave me a yellow card. The ref also organizes a league in the summer where you’re not allowed to slide tackle. He must have been confused. 😉
In the indoor league when someone gets a yellow they have to sit out for 2 minutes. We played with 4 guys and they were unable to score. That gave us great momentum. So, it turned out to be a positive thing. 😉
In the end we won. I’ve been playing there for over a year with this team. Some of the guys have been playing for something like 3 years. This is the first time we won the session. The session starts next week. Let’s go Blue!

Steh auf wenn Bayer seid!
Great come back today! 2-2 at Milan, puts Bayern in the drivers seat for the second leg of the quarter finals in the Champion League on April 11… With the aggregate goal rule, away goals count for more than home goals. So, a tie 0-0 or 1-1 in the second leg will put Bayern through to the next round.
Viva la Bleu!
Last night my indoor team, The Blue Team(I know very original) tied. I scored a penalty shot goal. It was actually a surprise penalty kick… I stole the ball from a defender and it bounced ahead of me towards their goal, so I chased it down… with another guy at my heals. I beat him to the ball, then tried to shield ball and I think on my second touch the other guy wiped me out. It was a clear goal scoring opportunity. It should have been a card really, but the ref gave us a penalty shot. I was as shocked as the other team, but I wasn’t going to miss a great opportunity. I took the shot and made sure I didn’t miss the free goal we given. 😉 That put us up 2-1. Then in the last minute they tied it up…
The most exciting thing though, is that we are in the championship game next week! We are in first place with 5 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie. I’ve been playing in this league for over a year now. The sessions last about 8 weeks including a championship game. Our team has never been in the championship game before. 😉 Some of the guys have been playing for years and never made it. So, now’s our chance to get our hands on the championship t-shirt! 🙂
Viva la Bleu!
Steh auf wenn Bayer seid!
Bayern make it into the quarter finals of the Champions League with the fastest goal in Champions League history (11 seconds) from Makkay, and a goal form Lucio off of a corner kick!
Ugh, Boy did we stink tonight….
Wow! what a frustrating night. We lost 9-2.
On the positive side I scored both goals. 🙂 The the ball was passed to me right in front of the goal and I took the shot between the keeper and a defender. The second one of the other guys did all the work. The goalie tried to stop him and the ball rolled front of the goal and I just tapped it in.
I definitely made my share of mistakes too though. Towards the end we could have had another goal. We had a 3 on 2, but I held the ball way too long and lost it. Blah!
