Soccer: Pick-up game

Only pick-up games in this weird delayed season time. I wound up playing for about 3 hours, which was completely exhausting. Wow. I don't think my feet will be too happy tomorrow. I was afraid lots of people would show up, soIgot up early (although not nearly as early as planned) and there were just barely enough people for 2 full teams. Around the third half, I subbed out for 7 minutes, but after that we were short people so I couldn't sub anymore. By the end it was getting really hard for me to keep moving up to hold the offsides line. But I had a decent game, broke up some plays, had a few runs back just in time - I still need to work on my winning balls in the air and ball control to get it to a midfielder. Again, it was nice notplaying against much faster forwards, and I think I got tired less quickly than some of the other people, so I held my own. It will be nice to get back to a regular team, though, to try to work on some defensive coordination.
