Tears of Frustration

The girls, not me. They lost today in Penalty Kicks.

It was a very well played game with the other team scoring at the very end of the first half. By then it was obvious that the teams were very evenly matched. About two-thirds of the way through the second half, Nicole got taken down inside the box and her team-mate scored the resulting Penalty Kick! Yeah! BTW, Nicole wasn't injured at all, in fact she said "It was fun!" She went flying!

So the end of the game came, tied 1-1. Lisette hadn't got any playing time (Poor Boo!!) and Nicole had been pulled off the field with just five minutes left so neither of my girls were taking the shots (you have to be on the field to take part in the PKs) which helped my nerves. They did rather poorly with the shots, missing 3 out of 4. The other team won 4-2 (3-1 PKs, 1-1 Game) and the tears started.

One more day, two more games. Say a prayer, light a candle, wish them the best!!
