Kind of old news here but still thought that it was worthy of a post...
The week before we took our vacation I played in my last soccer game of the season...
It was down to the wire and we were fighting for 1st place in our division. We were seated number 2 going up against the number 1 team. We all knew they were really good and it was going to take some of our best effort to beat them that night. Just as we thought, it was indeed a tough game. So tough that it ended in a nail biting shot out finish. First they scored, then we scored, they scored again, then us, and then....yes they missed. We could not believe it. All we had to do was score the next one and then we would be one up on them for the 1st time ever. But...we could not do it....however, in the end, thanks to our awesome goalie, we finally pulled it off when he stopped the last shot from the other team. We finally did it. We WON!
Now ...I know that winning isn't everything, but it sure is a great feeling...specially when you are playing in the "old fart" league. HA! It sure makes you feel good.
BTW...when you play in the "old fart" league you no longer get the nice little trophies to show off but rather the "...been there, done that, got the t-shirt" award. (yea, we got the t-shirts with "Champions" on it) pretty cool!
