The American Dream

My first ever outdoor soccer game. Well, that's not technically true, but close enough. We play at an ungodly hour on the local defense contractor's community outreach field. Make no mistake, this is the American dream.

"How did it go," you ask?

"Not good," I say. However, I did enjoy the distinction of missing two shots in the last 30 seconds of a 1-0 loss.

A few initial observations on 11 a side outdoor vs 6 a side indoors: more time on the field, but less running. There is a lot more time on the ball, and chasing balls that go out of touch sucks.
