Soccer: Tie (2-2)

The first half was our best half yet, and we ended it up 2-0. We've been using a 4-4-2 formation that is working much better when we put the right people in the right places, and had good movement of the ball through the midfield. It felt good. The second half didn't work out so well, though - we didn't have as much possession of the ball, and they were able to score on a fast break with one of their really fast forwards. I was playing sweeper at the time, and just couldn't make up the step. I felt really slow all day - that is what happens when I don't play for a week, or do any serious running. Oh well. It was kind of disappointing to end up with a tie since we had a 2 goal lead for a while, but I guess in the scheme of things it was a pretty good game - and only giving up 2 goals is a lot better than we have been doing.
