war HOC-ish
after hope on campus and before tonight's soccer game, this conversation occured:
pastor cor: (sarcastically) dave, how many goals have you scored this season?
me: uh, i feel my stride about to hit.
chris: hey yeah i need to still get a goal this season as well.
me: we should really get on it, i am feeling it tonight.
so that was the setup for tonights game. tonight we had NO subs, and our MVP rachael was gone. she usually scores all of our goals. so our team really had to step it up. and the HOCs were ready for battle, like the boxing duo from bus 16. obviously chris and i had to make due on our conversation and it was so.
i blasted in the first goal, no chance of them stopping it. 1-0 us. later i had another chance to take a shot but it would have been with my left foot, so i passed it to Chris who scored and gave me the assist. 2-0 us. they got a goal somewhere in there. 2-1 us. then i had yet another chance to take a shot with my left foot and the other team was just dancing around the ball deciding who should kick it away, so i took it and scored again, yeah left footed. 3-1 us. and halftime.
our team really needed this, having no subs. chris knocked in another goal to give us a safe 4-1 lead, and that is how the game ended.
lets take a look at the approximate shooting percentage (shots made/shots taken):
us: 4/7 or 57%
them: 1/35 or 3%
so obviously they dominated the ball and we just took great shots. our goalie joe played amazingly to the end. even with a secure 4-1 lead and only 2 seconds left he made one last save and dislocated his finger. hopefully he will make a full recovery for next week. because the HOCs are now 3-3-1 and set to make the playoffs if they can maintain their .500 record with the 2 remaining games.
chris and i decided we need to talk more about scoring before games.
