Today both boys had soccer games, at the same time naturally. I tried to run back and forth between the games to get pictures, and as a result didn’t really watch the game the way I normally can. On top of that, it was cold. Above freezing, but a good wind that sucked the heat right of you. Even with gloves, my fingers got numb working the camera. Oddly, the number of parents watching seemed much fewer than normal. Hmmm, surely just a coincidence.
Corwin’s team had a good game, winning 5-0. His team played well, but it was more that the other teams wasn’t working well together. The other local team got split up, half on Corwin’s team and half on the team they played today. Corwin’s team still had a core of kids used to each other, but I don’t think the other team had that at all.
Corwin had some good action, although he definitely needs more work on his running. Mom and I need to work on his general stamina.
Charles’ team didn’t do so well. I didn’t catch the final score, but 0-5 wouldn’t surprise me. Charles played well, but his team seems to have fewer players (less substitutions) and to be much younger (I think they have only one 2nd grader). Charles, at least, was quite a bit more aggressive than previously, doing better at mixing it up and going after the ball. He had several good stops, breaking up an attack by kicking the ball back to the other side.
