First Game of the Season

Last week I signed with Waikiki FC, the team I played with last year to play with them. They are great guys, so I’ll rather play here with some random people. Anyways we had our last game, and me & Frank (he is a new guy that I hang a lot with these days) are both playing with them. We play our games on Sundays which is too bad, since Saturday is a day for going out, so I went to Ocean’s, a place really near my place. And it was STUNNING.

After finishing up there at 4 o’clock; I headed home to get some sleep. And I got up at 7 to meet Frank, Truls and Diana for a surfing session. But only me and Frank met. It’s all good. We went in to the waves, and it was freaking cold. I’m shocked that I’m not sick right now as I was mostly shaking. But luckily, even though I haven’t surfed much the last year, I actually got it pretty well. Caught some good waves and had a lot of fun, before we had to get home to get ready for the game @ 11am.

We went back to my place, had some pancakes that my roommate Kane’s girlfriend made for us (sweet!) and a proteinshake, and we were ready to play the game. The game before our game was a playoff game for girls (age: 8-9) and they played on a big field, I was shocked. Those small girls looked like ants on that huge field, poor people. It went all the way to penalty kicks, so our game was delayed. No worries. When we started we were all fresh and had control from the first minute, and won the game 1-0. I think they had 1 corner, and one shoot on the goal in the whole game. Too bad for our goalie who used to be on the US Olympic Development team as a youth, as he didn’t get much practice from this game!
