I realize that the updates are getting later and later, but it would seem that things are getting busier and busier.
Thursday I played with AFC Soccer, against one of the division's top teams. We had two subs and a terrible goalie who withdrew three fourths of the way into the game. We were losing by 5 or so when I went in net, and I actually made a few really good stops. Of course, I let some in, too.
Last Saturday was privy to another couple games, the first with Fury, and the second with Team Gigantic. Fury won 7-1, Team Gigantic lost 2-1. I scored the only goal for Team Gigantic, it was terrible. I rebounded my own shots until the third, where I just managed to squeeze it between the goalie's legs. Unfortunately, my goal got credited to Jay, so now he's two ahead of me in the standings.
At the Fury game, Jahan discovered my problem; ball control. He diagnosed me at half time, and then told me to run back and forth with the ball. I was clumsy at best. Time to find some ball control and dribbling drills. I imagine this will help my game a lot. I imagine it as the missing link in my game, as it should help my first touch, and my ability to beat people.
I went to the physio yesterday to check out that problem with my knee. Turns out I sprained my ligament between my fibula and something else. I just have to tape it up and I'm good to go. Actual rehabilitation on that starts next week, and after that, I'm getting her to take a look at my right ankle.
