game deux

Last night was team Cal's 2nd game. The game before us didn't have a ref show up on time, so that pushed our game back by 30 minutes. The teams were all good sports about the time delay. Team Cal used the time to warm up. This game we had a bunch of our children, to which Clyde said, that it looked like the game was a ward primary activity. (team cal is the yellow shirted team...)


Clyde loves soccer. He played in HS and then he coached @ his middle school this spring. I love that he understands the game and knows where to put his body. He said that he tells his body where to be, but his body is slow to respond. Clyde plays great.
Towards the end of the game, a player on our team touched the ball with her hands, so that gave the opposing team a chance for a penalty shot. Clyde saved the day on this one. He blocked this one beautifully. He not only saved this shot but a good 5 or 6 from the opposing team throughout the game. Team Cal won, something like 5-0. The opposing team was an all gal team and they played rough. Clyde was even punched by one as she charged the goal. Another one ran into him and she hit the ground. All the team Cal players played a great game.
