This is their second week. We left the memory card for the camera at home last week. Amateurs. Johnny is in Orlando this weekend for the national meeting for work, so I was a one-woman cheering squad.
Maddie played first. She threw a huge fit and didn't want to play (she didn't want to play last week either). After pouting all through their 20 minute warmup, she finally decided she was good and ready and got in the game. Last week, she scored 4 goals and had one assist. This week, she scored 2 goals and had at least 3 assists. She gets so excited when she scores! When she runs down the field, it's like she is going at a different speed than everyone else. She is SO fast! Liam's coach has a daughter on Maddie's team also and he is trying to recruit Maddie for his team next season!
Liam's team has really been working on passing and teamwork. It's amazing to see these kids playing real soccer! Liam has played right wing mostly (offense). Last week, he had real trouble staying on his side, but this week, he did a GREAT job staying put and being ready when the ball came to him. He had his first assist - a goal attempt that ended up right in front of his teammate who kicked it in. I'd have great footage of that if Maddie and Isabella didn't have to use the bathroom just before that happened! Liam also played goalie for the last quarter. He loved it! He got scored on a few times by this amazon kid, but he had a few GREAT saves and one catch. The best part about Liam playing goalie is the big boomeroo. Liam has a huge kick. When he walks out to the edge of the goalie box, he can drop kick the ball past the half line!
