Soccer: Tie (2-2)

It is starting to get a little chilly at 8:30 in the morning, which did not help me feel better about the extremely wet field. But it turned into a pretty good game, with one of their goals coming on a penalty kick that Thuy might have stopped if he were 6 inches taller. Our team had excellent ball movement the whole game, though, which was so nice to see. We had a lot of shots on goal, but their goalie was pretty decent and stopped most of them. So close to winning! I played stopper the whole game, and felt like I did all right pressuring early on, but I had trouble getting back on the breakaways. I think I managed to stay a little more energetic than some people on the other team towards the end, so I was able to break up a few more passes. Overall, it was fun.
