Soccer: Loss, 2-0

It is October, it should not be this hot out anymore. I guess I will miss these days come December, right? The game actually went OK, we barely had enough people on either side and it was really hot, but we struggled through. I think the heat helped keep anyone from being too quick. I played sweeper (or really just center fullback) the whole game, trying to keep things organized on defense. I think I did ok - I broke up a lot of plays, most of the shots they got weren't too dangerous. Unfortunately, their first goal was a one on one involving me and a guy who put on a move that made me look pretty silly right before he shot and scored. Oh well. At least I was in position for it. Their other goal came in the second half on a corner that hooked straight in. Yikes. What can you do about that? The guy we had playing goalie called for it, but it was a great shot and he couldn't get to it. Oh well. We had pretty decent pressure throughout the game but couldn't put anything away, which is our usual problem. And, at the end, I took a ball to the face and got a bloody nose and a cut on the outside of my nose. Sigh. Not a real game unless I bleed, eh? I really should get the safety glasses.
