Games 7-10

Since I have to show four games instead of the normal two, I have to make them a little shorter than usual. I am doing this to catch up.
The 7th game. In the seventh game the girls played the last place. The girls were currently in second place since they lost to the first place. When the game started the girls were happy because they were thinking of winning the game by more than five goals. The game started and the girls had the ball they took the ball through the middle and passed it to the captain. The captain took everyone in the defense and even took the goalie and went in the goal with the ball. That was great goal. The captain in the team is my sister. She started playing soccer since she was eight. Then she didn’t like it and stopped for two years, but eventually she missed soccer and started again. She is really good, and currently twelve years old. She has soccer in her blood because for four generations our family has been playing soccer.  Continuing with the game. The game resumed and they scored again, again, again, and again. They scored five goals less than four minutes. The girls were playing great while enjoying it. So the girls at the end won by a landslide with a score of 17-0. These games I don’t like because there kind of boring playing when there is no challenge. The captain scored nine of the seventeenth goals.
The 8th game. In the eight games the girls went versus the third place which was second before the girls were second. Also if the girls win this game they would go to first because the first place team lost. So the game started and the other team had the ball and had the ball stolen by the girls’ team. The girls’ team took the ball like always and did their usual play and scored a goal. I think that play is like their key move that they always score when they do it. That particular play that they do they practice a lot in practice each time. So the score was 1-0, the girls winning.  Well the game continued back and forth without any one scoring.  But when there was five minutes left the girls made a good play and scored a beautiful goal.  They passed it back and forth confusing the defense then scored in the top right corner of the goal. So the final score was 2-0.
The 9th game. In the ninth game the other team didn’t go so they won by forfeit. The girls were mad because they didn’t play. This is one of the reasons which I’m writing this post as one not as two.
The 10th game.  In the tenth game the girls went versus the sixth place in a league of fifteen players. The game started and the girls had the ball. They took the ball through the middle, passed it back, then shot and scored a great goal. The girls were leading by one. Then the other team scored with a great play. So the play was that they started in half court then lifted it up almost all the way to the penalty mark then they volleyed it. This was one of the best plays I seen in their games, But the only bad thing it was that the other team scored. The game continued and finally at the last minute the girls score a miraculous goal. So they won this game. The Girls are now currently in first place. Also the games are current now.

2010 Christmas-New Years tournament.





The girls were giving a break in the regular league but they were entered in the 2010 Christmas-New Year’s tournament which is a separate league they play in Cicero fields. They entered the tournament but just five players of their team. They made up the rest of the team with boys from their brother team, so they could make up a better team. They played three games in Christmas and depend on where they were in the table they went to the championship match or third place.
In the first game the girls lost versus a team named Rebanito it is a Spanish word and not sure what it means. So the girls lost this game 2-0. I think one reason they lost this game because the boys and girls aren’t accustomed to play along with each other.
In the second game they won 20-0 versus team named Sabot. This game they really, really played great. In this game they now knew how to play with on another. The girls contributed mostly in this game because the girls were defense almost all the time and the captain of the girls’ team was captain of that team too, and she scored 10 goals. That is a lot of goals. That could be a record.  
In the third game they played a team called Rebanito B and won 17-0 this was a killing spree. If you add up all the games the team scored a total of 37 goals. That is a lot because the average of goals scored in game is 3.
So the team passed to the championship match they played it in New Year’s 1/1/11. They played Rebanito again because Rebanito was in first place and the team in second place. The girls won 9-2. The girls played way different than the first time they played versus them. They were champions of the 2010 Christmas-New Year’s tournament.
