Vive le Bleu!
The fall season for indoor started last night. I’m playing on the same team as last year. The brilliantly named. The Blue Team
We had our first game last night. We won 10-2! It could have been a lot worse too. We kind of let up in the second half. Hopefully we’re on our way to another championship!!
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. π 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. π 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! π
Viva la Bleu!
This is the first day of the rest of your life…
Many of you already know that I’m no longer with CSB-System. My last day was last Thursday.
Thursday night I had an indoor game where I scored a goal and had a few assists. One of the comments was that I was much more relaxed and played better than I have in a while. Go figure..
So, what am I doing now. Well, I’m still working part-time for Google. I’m going to start doing some translation and now I’ll have time to build my business. Blackbird e-Solutions I’m going to revamp the business to focus on Localization for websites and other materials, and Technical Consulting for German companies that want to establish a presence in the USA. So, it’s really an excite time.
Ugh, Boy did we stink tonight….
Wow! what a frustrating night. We lost 9-2.
On the positive side I scored both goals. π 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!
