Whoooah!! A 1/2 time shut out last Wednesday, Oct. 17th. The old guy was hot. In the first half of our indoor soccer match, I kept the competition to 0 goals on around 7 to 10 attempts. I normally bat away 50-66 % but last Wednesday was a shutout (for the first half). The other person who plays goalie would not sub in for me, he said I was 'too hot' (he's 18). The game ended in a tie of 5 to 5, but we did not lose.
I've been playing for just over a year with an adult soccer team in the LOWEST division. I'm the oldest player by 10 years. The age group is 17 - 99. I'm the closest to the top end. I also have the whitest head, so as a distraction, I play goalie. Picture soccer players 24-35 firing missiles at me from short distances and you'll know how I feel as I defend the goal. I rarely go home without hurting somewhere. Hands are bent back un-naturally. Thumb jamb. Knee or elbow burn on artificial grass. Bent glasses from hi-inpact events. But, hey, it's fun. Out of 5 seasons, we've been in 2nd place once, next to last once, and last place all the other times.
