The game tonight was an absolute blast. Everything I touched turned to gold. Even my bad passes worked out well.

Because I'm a bit faster than most I usually cover the defensive duties on my own. That allows our other 4 field players to push into attack. That usually means I set up a lot of goals but I don't knock too many in on my own. Tonight we were really attacking hard but couldn't get anything through to goal because they had their whole team in on defense. I had the ball inside the center circle just starting to drift right but I didn't see any good spots to pass so I saw an opportunity and took it. I practice this shot but the opportunity doesn't come up in games much so it was pretty damn cool to see it work. I hit the ball from inside the center circle - just on their half of the field. It went up and to the right and everybody started to move for the rebound but I was already celebrating as it curled left and dropped like a rock behind the keeper. I scored from half field.

From that point every time I got the ball I sucked in two of their players freeing up space in the box. We ran 9 unanswered points by them. Fun fun fun. The other side were all friendly folks and congratulated me on the shot. Except the keeper - he's a friend of mine and he punched me in the arm hard enough to bruise. I love playing with people who know it's just a game.
