I decided to put my soccer boots after many years.
Yesterday game with the Bombastic was quite fun.
I had to ask for substitution every 15 minutes because my body quickly realized that I could not run as it used, but I still managed to do some tackles and the odd good pass here and there.
More rough than expected. I am in the back line. The other team puts a through ball. I beat the guy on the run, but he trips me badly. No apology on his part; so next tackle I make sure that he gets it back harder, but he starts to moan to the referee. Yellow card is shown. Are you kidding me?
The game is tied, and I need to ask for a sub, and we get mixed up on the denfensive line. They score to be ahead 2-1. They are ahead and play well. There is almost no hope for us. Two minutes to go. I decide to put a bit of pressure and move up. The midfielders make a nice long pass. The forward wins the header. I received and control the ball. I have the back line behind me. I try to pass back, but there is no one to pass. I have to turn. Beat one defender on one on one, and run towards the goal line. The goalie and theree defenders ran at me. I stop the ball just in time. One defender passes by, and the other two are encircling. I hear the forward and see him open. The ball goes through the legs of the defender and the forward taps for the final goal. 2-2!.
Really enjoyable time with the guys. I realize how much I miss to play the game.
