this week

Gentlemen and Gary, let's ignore all of the bullshit associated with the officiating, the other team's likeness to fish out of water, and focus on how we played. We demonstrated a great will to win. It was this will, and will alone, that won us the draw. I don't know if it was that we had too many subs or what, but we reverted back to the type of play we showed in the first game: disorganized, a lack of shape, a lack of short passing, a lack of focus. I speak for myself as much as anyone when I say these things, and I'm frustrated at our collective reversal. I realize it's recreational soccer, but it's worth pursuing excellence at any level. I don't want to get all Aristotle on you, especially after playing the Greeks, though it must be said that life is what you make of it and why not embrace the idea of improvement? I realize I'm preaching to the converted, just felt like reminding ourselves that we can do so much better, and have done so much better. Let's remind ourselves out on the field as we convene to escape the rat-finkness of everyday life.
There is no game this upcoming Sunday. Anyone up for playing then? Anyone up for Wednesday?
