Soccer: Loss (4-2)

This one was closer than the score seemed (although I'm not entirely sure that was the score). We had some good chances, they had some good chances, but they were able to convert some shots that rebounded off our goalie. He did much better the second half, but it is a little frustrating to see a goalie contribute to making goals easier for the other team. Oh well, I am not a goalie so maybe I don't understand what is involved. I had an OK game, no real good plays, got burned on some stuff when I was on the left side playing against one of those people who can really control the ball well. That would have been a very useful skill for me to learn at some point. Some of the other people on our team had good games - Thuy played his usual great game, Roger had an amazing run back to stop them, Dave scored a goal, Alan had some good stops. I really like our team - the people are nice, no one gets too upset about other people's play or ref calls, but they all put a lot of effort into the game. And Mark was even able to get some time in at keeper for the next game, so hopefully it was an enjoyable soccer day for everyone, even if we didn't win. It was nice enjoying that winning record while we had it!
