(My apologies for yet another soccer post. I'm increasingly aware that I'm becoming an insufferable Soccer Dad).Zach and Phoebe's Red Team played the Black Team to a 1-1 draw in their game today.
Phoebe's game continues to improve -- she got more playing time than usual today, and she kept after the ball the entire time she was on the field. She even tried to muscle in front of a much bigger kid while jockeying for position on a throw-in. That's my girl.
Zach's scoring streak extended to three games, as he scored the only Red Team goal. He actually created several scoring chances for himself by working hard, being steadfast in pursuing the play, and playing with a measure of reckless abandon. It is so satisfying to see him have some success this year. I'm proud of my boy.
On the other hand, I'm on the hook for another milkshake, thanks to Zach's goal.
Further evidence that I am becoming an insufferable Soccer Dad:
First, "Soccer" now the most 4th most frequently used label on the Houserspawn(tm) blog, after "Phoebe", "Ben", and "Zach".
Second, I turned down Linda's offer to let me catch the kickoff of the Eagles game this afternoon in order to watch Zach and Phoebe's soccer team play. Frankly, I'm enjoying Red Team soccer more than Eagles football these days.
