Clear, a little windy and cool, like 40 or so as I left home, but a beautiful day for soccer. We had a new player show up, Marlen, and our old buddy Jake joined in. We started 10 v 10 but Imad and Jeff showed up and we played at 11 v 11, Steve in the blue net and Kevin mostly, some Snarky Mark, in the white net. The match was pretty even and pretty hotly contested. Kebow had some bounce off the posts and blue couldn't even get a shot off. Finally:
Imad for white, 1-0
Then Keebs comes right back with an open net tap in for white, 2-0
Lots more struggling and the good lord has mercy on blue, Jeff scores, 2-1
Jeff again with a blast that dribbles through the sure hands of keeper Kevin, 2-2
Guest Malen from the left wing for blue, 2-3!
Me with a steal, to Joe D. for blue, 2-4!!
Marlen fished out and the white team had the advantage for a while but then:
Dimos for blue, 2-5!!!
A come from behind victory for the mighty blue pagans in spite of the best efforts of team Imad/Jamal. Second week in a row. No gloating, but damn what a fine win. Damn. I have to add a word about the stellar keeping by Steve. Lots of OMGs!, but the score stayed in his favor. But the game ball goes to Joe D., getting it done on both ends, really helping out team "Old and Slow" with his youth and incredible speed.
