Just had a double-header tonight. Two fifty-minute 6v6 games back to back. Exhausting. But we picked up two more hard fought wins to extend our undefeated streak to 21 games.
I've never been more beat up after a game--astroturf burn on my elbow, stubbed toes, a bruised hand from getting checked into the boards, and a knot on my shin from this bastard who kept hacking at my legs.
One of my teammates finally called me out on my one and only "move". My thoroughbred legs basically make a mad dash down the left side leaving defenders in my wake. One out of fifty times I can stroke the ball low to the far corner. Another one of those fifty times I can find a teammate open in the box for the assist. And the other forty-eight times I get double teamed and molested against the boards in the corner. If only I could master Frankie Hejduk's stepover--seen above.
Regardless...5-0-0 to start the season.
