World Cup Fever

Which country are you routing for?  I've always shown my patriotism in sports. And since the USA is still in it, GO USA! 

I had never played soccer until last Monday.  Up till that point, I had always wanted to. The Swamp Rabbit Cafe has a team, so no better than the present to try it out.  The Greenville County Recreation Department has leagues for a variety of sports.  So we are playing soccer in the coed recreation division. 

At 8:30pm in the evening, we played on a half field, with occasional rain showers, and got our butts kicked 10-3. So at least we got a couple goals. I only played a couple minutes as the showers disrupted Pyper's ability to play alone.  The sideline boys tried to help her out when the rains came, but I think it only made things worse for her state of mind because she doesn't know them very well.  It probably didn't help it was her bedtime.  Yeah, not the best Mommy move. 

Well, now that I have a bum ankle, my soccer days are numbered.  I hope I'll be able to get in the last games of the season, maybe just participate in the practice games.
