I am sore for the first time in a long time. It was, in my mind, the snowboarding excursion I took yesterday, which was incredible. I ditched my fear of high speed travel on a board, which was kinda nice - flying down a mountain is quite liberating. I am unfortunately sore in various non-soccer parts, though, because I spent quite a lot of time in the half-pipe. Points of interest include getting clipped by my own lift chair, and getting smacked in the back of the head by a rogue chair.
Though when I say it like that, it doesn't make much sense. I was just walking, and then one clipped me. Thankfully, not too hard. It didn't hurt.
The White Eagles also had a game yesterday, against the (then) worst team in the league. If you wouldn't have been able to guess the result then, you probably can now. I ended up scoring one, assisting another, and then my team converted a spot kick, putting our score at 3 to their 7. I felt I had a good game. I had a lot of good through balls (two from insane distances that would've hit a faster striker), and a couple good breakaways, but I was unfortunate to be up against a good goalie. On the second, I had an absolutely amazing touch to put a ball behind and to the right of me ahead of me, but then quicker got stomped on by the goalie, literally and figuratively. It felt like I broke my toe. I went down, and the other team was nice enough to order themselves to kick the ball out. Thankfully, it was a mild sprain and what I think was a pinched nerve, and I ended up limping off with the help of one of the opposition's nice players.
My goal was your typical one-timer from the top of the box through a few people. I enjoyed it.
Today's White Eagles' practice was probably telling of our record. 4 others were there, and I arrived late. We passed a lot, played a bit of two-on-two, then I set up a one-timer/give and go drill after one of the guys left out of boredom. I'm not sure if that's funny or pathetic, or a bit from each column.

Oh, and here's a picture.
