It's playoff time for Juan's soccer season, and his team couldn't be doing better!
After a 5-2 loss on Wednesday, they came back to win 3-2 on Friday (I missed both games due to my trip to Cornwall).
They played again yesterday morning, and boy did they come out to play!
First game, at 10:30 AM
Getting ready for the action
It was really hot yesterday!
A pep talk during the halftime. We were leading 5-0 by then
Juan scored three goals in this game!
The final score was 10-2!
"Guys, we're in semi-finals, no matter what happens in this afternoon's game"
"But we should win anyway"
"OK, let's"
Second game at 3:15 PM
See Juan run!
He shoots... keeper makes a save!
But we get the rebound... GOAL!
We won again! It was 2-0 this time (Juan scored the second via Penalty Kick)
"Three cheers for the blue team!"
Blue keeper cries. He didn't know yet, but I did; they're playing against us again tomorrow,
this time for a spot in the final game.
"Good game...good game...good game...good game..."
As I said above, our team is playing again at 9:15 AM today (yes, in 8 hours) for the semi-finals.
After that, we all run to Santi's game (it's at 11:00 AM).
If Juan's team wins, we have to run again after Santi's game, to go play the final.
Then I have to coach another soccer practice from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM.
Sigh. A typical Sunday... :-)

ReplyDeleteBuenisimas fotos...Sigo preguntandome el modelo de tu camara :-)Me gusto la foto en que Juan encara con pelota dominada. Es la tipica pose del que sabe. La mirada en la proxima jugada, no en la pelota.

ReplyDeleteAw, poor little keeper.I like in the first picture where they are doing the "nice game" thing, how one player is walking hand-in-hand with a little girl. His sister?
