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!
