Team Gold Week Won.

That's right I'm coaching indoor soccer again. Okay, so what?
A guy can coach indoor soccer can't he?
I love it that's the truth.

I love hanging out with my daughter and yelling stupid stuff from the bench.
"Kick the ball to one of our players!"
"Hey ref what's with all the whistles?"
That kind of junk.

Last night was game 1 of the new season and it was a doozey.(Yes a full-blown doozy.)
All the girls showed up on time and no one wanked about the sweater sizes or numbers. Good start.
We have some dang good players and we took it to Team Teal fast and early.
Up 5-2 at the half, Charlie G in net stopped a bunch of close chances and sprained two of her fingers. Good girl.
Gabby G popped in three and then spent the second half playing the kind of goal the Maple Craps can only dream of.
Clair A and Hilary H also had some goals and another girl too but I can't remember who. I'm just learning everyone's names, although this year it will be easier because I only have one Rachel and no Nicoles.( I miss one of them!)

Game Notes:
1) Besides Charlie's jammed fingers, one of the other girls got a ball in the face and a bloody nose. I of course took control of the situation and promptly delivered her to her mommy.
2) The other coach sounded exactly like Shrek. He kept saying "Well played" and it sounded like he was saying, "Good Donkey!"

Next up, our arch rivals Team Red coached by the very clever duo of Rob and Ed. They have experience and strategy we have good looks and guile.(Look it up Ed!)
I predict we'll go undefeated.
