Tangy just slaughtered BRECIS 16-3 in a game that wasn't as close as the score shows. I managed to forget my gloves (Bernie brought an extra pair, fortunately), then i managed to save a shot with my left ring fingertip (i won't be able to take my ring off for a few days), and i finished the game with rug burn on my left knee. After so many decent games, today i was left hung out to dry often, and our defense gave up a lot of shots; everybody looked tired. The game started at 17:55, so Kim said that maybe everyone was playing without having had dinner, and i think she's probably right. We had a lot of subs, and we replaced people often, and i wonder if that contributed to some confusion among the team, as well.

I wasn't terribly happy with my play, but that was born out of frustration (not unlike the bruised knuckle i got after punching the wall)... when my defense starts leaving me alone, i start playing as a defender, because i feel i'm out of choices. I am not going to be a sitting duck. I kept running to kick the ball and missing, and i got beat a lot on my near side, and i need to figure out why.
