Soccer Satisfaction
For the first few minutes of my over-30 game last night, I was annoyed at how badly I was playing. I had a fantastic opportunity directly in front of the goal and shot directly at the goalkeeper, who caught the ball easily. I completely missed the ball a few other times. My teammates were passing really nicely and I felt bad about not capitalizing on the chances. Then somebody else took a shot, I ran toward the goalkeeper to see if she would catch the ball. Just as she was grabbing it, I kicked it out of her hands onto the turf. Two defenders converged, I touched the ball softly away from one of them and then poked it into the goal past the other! GOOOAAAL! I laughed to myself that I couldn't seem to score an easy goal but the then I some how managed to beat three people. After that the game just got better and better. We won 9 to 4.
