Both of last night's games have tired me out more than I can recall in recent memory, but normally indoor complexes in summer are pretty hot and muggy.
In my first game back with the Electric Shoes, we had three subs total. In spite of a lack of a formation, we played alright, but generally were unlucky. The pinnacle of our lack of luck came when I lifted the ball over two legs, had my foot stepped on and knee of my other leg kicked, and no foul was called. I also messed up a breakaway by shooting just wide. My passing was plentiful though, perhaps too plentiful. I still need to shoot more. We lost 5-2.
My competitive game was a gong show. I'm not sure why, but I was sat for the first half, then I went in and played striker. Then Right Wing. Then Striker. Then Center Midfielder (this was by my own accord, as nobody else was playing it).
I have no idea what is going on with that team. I know I can be used as a utility man, but I have played every position on the field in three games, aside from left back, left mid, and goalie. The worst part is that nobody is in shape, and no practices are willing to be had. If we go down at the end of the season, we deserve it, unless this ceases to continue.
It felt like, during the game, nobody on my team gave support, aside from certain times. I made a few good passes, but generally the other team was on top of us. We lost 1-0, against an over-35 team. It was obvious that they had played together for a while, but really, the more impressive thing was that they were in much better shape than us.
Five minutes from time, I was fouled just outside the box. I'd have liked to take the free kick, but some guy on my team came up and took it (far too lightly). The goalie was forced into a relatively easy diving save.
I really don't know what to do about these guys, I feel as though we could be a half decent team if we put the hours into it. The individual skill is most likely there, after all.
