Who would have thought an ass kickin' could be so fun!

The mighty Manchester Divided took to the pitch last Thursday night for my first ever soccer game. I started out in goal and it didn't take long to realize we were way out of league. I probably successfully stopped 6 or 7 shots but managed to let 8 by me. Needless to say that was probably the last time I will play goalie. I was getting frustrated with myself and was starting to get let down that as much as I wanted it to be soccer just wasn't the sport for me. But once I got out of the goal, my attitude changed. I was having a blast out there. I had a nice header for an assist on our one goal we scored thanks to the golden foot of Joe. Other than that I didn't really do anything special but run around a lot but it was a really good time. We ended up losing 14 to 1 but that didn't really matter to anyone. We all seem eager to improve and keep having fun. I can't wait until our next game.
