Can I just tell you how much I love soccer?!
I heard you laughed, Jared, when mom told you I was playing soccer again - bah!! I recently started playing indoor soccer, and I am sooo hooked. I now look forward every week to my Friday night game. I love the competiveness of it, pushing people against the walls, making good passes. I love it!
This last Friday, I even got carded.
There was this one girl on the other team who was really throwing elbows - a lot. At one point, she hooked one of my players, who then flipped up and landed flat on her back. The girl said "Sorry," but she was totally smirking. She totally clotheslined one of my players! So I yelled at her a bit.
Then later, she and I were jostling for the ball, and I let my temper get to me, and I full on body shoved her. I got the penalty, and had to sit out for 2 minutes. I was so mad, I even yelled as the ref was carding me, "Yeah, well, I don't even care! She deserved it!"
We ended up tying the game with them, and one of her team's players came up to me after, and apologized for the girl. She said, "She is a bit out of control. I mean it's just a soccer game! Whatever you did to her, she did deserve it."
I know I should feel bad about my temper, but I'm sorry, it was totally awesome.
I love soccer!!!!
