"He's Italian... But boy, is he good"

There's a first time for everything. Some notable examples:

1. The conception of the universe.
2. An indirect left footed free-kick from 25 yards out that ends up in the net (with credit to me).
3. A post before a game.

I've skipped updating on a couple recent games, but I figure the minutae are redundant anyway. Suffice it to say that my defending's been pretty spot on these last few days, as well as my passing. My shooting? Ask the two or three shots I've taken. I need to ditch this idea that I have to spread the ball to everybody without fear of social backlash. I pass (more than) enough, I've maybe had five or six shots since my last post, which would be at least four games. Passing has been spectacular lately, I can find open players like nobody's business. Too bad it's not resulted in much.

One neat thing that happened yesterday was the quickest two touches I've ever had that resulted in a goal. It happened in about a quarter of a second, and found the bottom corner. A tidy goal to say the least. I managed to trap it with a planted foot while winding up the shot. Interesting

Today's game is against a team that's beaten us, but aside from that has largely been unsuccessful. We're missing a handful of players, but the playtime might be for the best; we'll see what we can do. Who knows where I'll be playing tonight, I'm guessing Mid, but with the absentees, I could be anywhere.

In other news, I've had a team offer for outdoor that I'm unsure about. What I'm looking for is playtime and practice time, and secondarily I'd like to get free registration and upper-level ball.

I'll have to start squeezing my contacts to see what I can do.
