Football!!! (er, I mean Soccer)




I've taken up playing soccer with my classmates.  We've been playing just for fun for the last couple months, but this week we entered a school wide tournament.  And wouldn't you know it, they pitted us against the foreign exchange students from Europe (who we had been practicing with).  Unfortunately, their skills are just a little better than ours (I think they must be given a soccer ball when they are born). They beat us 5 to 1, and you can see in the second picture that I was the goal keeper.  Surprisingly, my teammates were extremely supportive of the fact that I let 5 goals in.  They want me to continue as goalie - they even told me that I did a great job.  These guys really know how to make a person feel good.  
Our next game will be in a week, hopefully the other team won't be so tough.
