Our soccer team for the winter indoor season's been a collection of great guys with decent athleticism and some solid ball handling skills. Our snowed-out game was rescheduled for 9:10, our second latest game of the year. We won our latest one, for our only previous victory (since all the other teams have been playing together for longer than us). The team we saw on the opposite end of the pitch this night was as talented as the others.
We held them to a scoreless tie deep into the first half. Then they pulled their goalie and turned him into an extra offensive player, who unleashed a kick close enough to shoot past our keeper for a 1-0 lead. Then we proceeded to score three goals in the second half for a comeback win!
The surprising win against a quality team preceded a personal loss - I left my water bottle in the gym. The cheap plastic container held 50 ounces at a time and was part of our home for over a year. Tall, slender, easy to grab, it provided an entire day's worth of refreshment in a couple fillups. However, it was a personal gain too - it's tippability and wobbliness had been a source of domestic discord for some time. :)
Sweet success, in all respects. Bring on the spring indoor season! And a trip to the grocery store.
