Our team had it's first game on Friday, so we traveled down just in time for the game. It was not a good game and there was a lot of rust to dust off. We ended up tying the game and trying to forget about it. Saturday morning was another game and we rocked! It was so fun to see the team come back and play the way they know how to. Evan had a great goal in the game with a driving run to the net and in! We won that game 3-1 and went on to beat La Roca 2-0 in our second game that day. With the group stage over we were on to the semi-finals on Monday.
After a fun weekend we played a hard semi-final game and won that 1-0. The final was set as a rematch with La Roca. We thought we had our first goal when it was called back for an offsides call that could have gone either way. Evan was offsides, but was not involved in the play, but it was still called as offsides and in the way of the goalie. That was really hard, but the team rallied on and fought hard to a 0-0 draw in regulation. On to a 10 minute overtime. With 30 seconds left in overtime we scored a goal! Then we hunkered in for the last 30 seconds and we won!

While I love being a soccer mom I seriously wonder how much my heart can take in these high pressure, so close games. I have to walk and pace around the field to ease up the gitters I feel as I watch. It is so fun and the boys make us all so proud. Win or lose they play hard and keep their heads up. But, boy it is fun to come out on top!
Congratulations boys!! It was sure fun to watch!

That's awesome! Congrats!!!!
So we should probably get Evan's autograph the nest time we see you all so that when he a huge soccer star we can say "we knew him when" and have an original autograph from his soccer beginnings!
