THe 5th and 6th game

5^th game. In the fifth game the girls played versus the team that was in sixth place. The girls were currently in second after defeating the second place in the game before this game. The   game started the girls in a sky blue and red shirt with nay blue shorts. The other team in a red striped shirt with solid black shorts. The girls had possession of the ball and started to pass it to each other. The girls took the ball through the middle then passed it to the left side, then centered the ball to their teammate but blocked by the goalie. So it is a corner kick for the girls they center it again and…. Goooal. The girls score a goal. Then the boys take possession of the ball and take it through the left side, they pass it back. They are intercepted by the girl’s defense.  After ten minutes the team still continues trying to score a goal but cannot. The girls then have a chance, they have the ball in the enemy’s half an start taking it by the left side then they change the ball to the right, they then pass it to the middle and shoot…..and they score again. They end the game it that goal because there was just two more minutes left and it was almost impossible for the other team to score a goal. The game does end at that and the girls leave victorious with a 2-0 score and I think they need good luck for the next game because they are going versus first place. That game is going to be very good because the girls are one point from the first place so if they beat them they go up to first place.

6^th game. The sixth game was the best game I have ever seen them play the both team played great this was the clash of the titans. Before the game started the girls were nervous and were saying that they were going to lose. I thought they had a chance to win but not a big one because the other team is very good. The game started and the other team had possession of the ball, they went straight trough the defense with the series of passes and scored a goal.  The other team was really good they knew how to pass it to each other. Then whenever the girls had possession of the ball the other team always took it from them. Luckily the girls had a good goalie and blocked a lot of shots. Then the chance the girls were waiting for, the captains of the girls took the ball through the defense and was alone with the goalie. She shoots and scores. The game was now tied 1-1 with three minutes left. The other team has possession of the ball and takes it but doesn’t get through the defense luckily for them they get a bad pass and shoot from half court and score. The game briefly ends. The girls lose and also lose their chance for being first place. Even though they lost it was a good game it kept the fans entertained. I  think they are still winners for almost beating an all boys team even though they are girls.

The 3rd and 4th games

The 3^rd game: this game was the best game they have ever played. In this game they played versus their brother team. What I mean by brother is that the other team is from the same club but it is an all boys team. So this game had high stakes. When the game started the girls were nervous like they always were and they with hopes that this would be the game they finally win. So the referee blew the whistle     and the girls had possession of the ball they passed it to one to another in triangle format. After they were in the opposite side they girl with the ball passed it to their captain and the captain shoots and goooal. The girls scored.  When they had scored ten minutes had passed and only twenty five more minutes left. Then the girls scored another goal from inside the goalie box. One minute later the girls scored again. Then again and kept scoring till the score was 13-0. This was a great game for them and at the end of the game the girls started screaming because they were that happy. This game was really good they actually passed the ball real good and had an outstanding defense.  I think they got some good confidence with this game and will continue and win.

The 4^th game this game was a good game for the girls too. So the game they played was versus the second place. So it was a tiring game for the girls. When the game started the other team had the possession of the ball and their star player tried to take score a goal by himself but did not. He was blocked by the captain of the girl’s team. After regaining possession the captain of the girls team takes the ball by the left side of the field all the way to the other goalie box the shoots, and scores. When the game resumes the opposing team has the ball they pass it trying to get pass the girl defense, they fail again. Then ten minutes later the girls when they get possession of the ball they take it through the middle then pass it to the left, then back to the center and they score again.  So the opposing team tries again and again to pass through the girls but didn’t during the whole game. So at the end the score was 2-0. The girls happy and are waiting for the next game. So this was great game especially for the defense.

The 1st and 2nd game.

I missed two games because I didn't have a blog then but I could still summarize the games, so that’s what I am going to do right now.

1^st game. So at the start of the game the girls were nervous and I think they doubted if they could do it. When they started playing the girls were playing rough so they would scare the boys. They actually accomplished it but the other team still managed to score the first goal. Then ten minutes passed and the girls managed to score a goal whit a well managed play by the offense. Five minutes after that goal the girls’ team commits a penalty. The other team scores the penalty with the goalie having no chance to block it. So the score was two to one with the girls’ team losing. So there was two minutes left in the game and the girls were down by one goal. So the team had this one more chance in a free kick with one minute left. The team prepares she shoots but misses it hits the post and the game is over briefly after that. So in their debut it was pretty good for a first game. Even though they lost it was a good game for them because they accomplished to experience playing versus harder teams. Well they played versus an all boys team and the other team was bigger. Also it could be because they were not used to playing as a team yet, the coach had to work more.

2^nd game. In their second game the girls came more prepared and with high hopes to win this time, last time they were close by just one goal. So in the start of the game the girls made an effort for a goal but misses, and the crowd got exited. Six minutes the other team makes an effort and scores. Again three minutes later the other team scores again, so in about fourteen minutes the other team has scored two goals and the girls nothing. In other five minutes girls make an effort but it was blocked by the goalie. Then the boys score one time again after five minutes. The girls look demoralized but are still fighting.  The other team scores again. The score was four to zero. The girls kept fighting till the end but the score stayed the same. I think this was a bad game for the girls because instead of coming more prepared they came less. So I didn’t really work so well.

Background of The Soccer Team/Club

The soccer team I am going to write about is a team which is from Chicago and plays also around Chicago. Well I can't call this team a team because it is like a club. It is like a club because it has many teams not just one, it has about nine teams. It has from the ages of four years old all the way to sixteen years. I can't remember exactly how long since they started playing but they have been playing for about five to six years. They have played in Cicero during the winter in an indoor soccer field. They have also played outdoor soccer in Marquette Park and at curie high school. This team also has been called many names so it does not have one real team name. So the team I am going to focus during my entries is a team that was made this fall and it is an all girls team with the exception of a boy which is their goalie. The “all girls” team was made because there were a lot of girls trying to join the team so they decided to make an "all girls" team. The all girls team is made up of nine through twelve year girls so they play in the “under eleven” boys division. I think this was not a good idea. Even though some of the girls played good they were going versus boys and some boys play rough so they could hurt some of the girls. What they should have done was combine the girls and the boys together to make one team and so it would be even. So the entries are going to be about this girl team that they made which plays currently in Cicero and is trying to win in a boy league.
