Our 5v5 Futsal season ended last night with a 4-6 defeat in the first round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n
For the first time in a long time, we went up 1-0. Christian laid a gorgeous ball across the mouth of the goal that JTsai(??) scored. They made it 1-1 on a bad decision in goal, but that’s okay. The folks who played goalie did a great job. It’s a hard gig, and the fact that we don’t have a full time goalie really did us in this game. Oh well…<\/p>\n
Then they went up 1-2.<\/p>\n
We tied it 2-2 on a goofy goal. They did a pass back where the goalie came forward and the guy passed it behind him. CBrew ran after the ball, and when it hit the post he nailed it into the back of the net.<\/p>\n
2-2 at halftime.<\/p>\n
In the second half, the jumped out quickly on us. It was 2-4 before we knew it. I helped us crawl back in with a pretty left foot shot on a quick turn around that surprised the goalie, and was really well placed. In another lifetime, I was clearly a forward \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Then I completely screwed up, passed across the middle, and gave them an easy one. 3-5 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
We made it 4-5 on a great chip from Christian to my head. I didn’t hit it level (as the goalie’s arm was there), but instead pushed it up and into the top of the crossbar. 4-5 with just a little bit to go.<\/p>\n
Then, they got a really fluky goal to make it 4-6.<\/p>\n
Game. Set. Match.<\/p>\n
TokSoccer is retiring for a season while we nurse injuries, and find a good location for everyone who plays. Until then, I’ll find my soccer fix somewhere else \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
