Last night, Centavo defeated NV United 10-4, in a game they played two men short in its entirety. Not much to talk about; i was a little rusty after a two week layoff, but nothing really worth mentioning.

Tonight, Centavo beat Blue Bandids 7-5 in a tightly fought game. I ran out to cut off a loose ball and got boarded for my trouble; the back of my head hit the wall. The ref didn't call a foul even though the guy extended his arms when he hit me. About halfway through the second half, the ref red-carded a Blue Bandid for not wearing shinguards; although the rules clearly state that one must wear shinguards, a red card seems excessive. My teammates said the ref was not paying attention during random parts of the game; near the end, i fell outside the box and handled the ball, but no whistle was heard. Despite the ref, it was a good game, but now i have to go nurse the lump on my head and the rest of my aches and pains.
