Corwin feeds the offense
It was grey day and the game started earlier due to fears of getting rained out. It did sputter a couple of times during play but no actual rain. But the idea that a downpour could start any moment was very believable. Corwin’s team pulled out a relatively easy 5-0 victory.
The teamwork continues to be very good on the team. I saw at least a couple of double passes to get the ball all way from our midfield to attack position in a few seconds. There was also quite a number of drives that would end with a pass off to another player when the driver got “stuck” by the defense.
The ball was on the opponent’s side most of the game, which I think was as much due to the defense as the offense. The defenders did a good job of stopping and returning the ball to keep the offense on the attack. Corwin was actually talking to the other defenders and keeping them organized, sending someone forward when the main offense was attacking the goal. He did tend to hang out close to Ali a bit too often, but most of the time the two of them would split up appropriately to deal with incursions.
The offense took a good number of shots at the opposing goal. At least a couple of them were from quite a ways out. The opposing goal defense was inconsistent, sometimes very strong and other times not so strong.
Personally, I had a very bad day of shooting. I took 538 pictures of which I kept less than 100 (the others were deleted because they were so bad). I don’t know if it was the light, the camera, or my technique. I used the same set up for Charles’ soccer game and those turned out OK. I will try a slightly different technique and camera settings next week.
