It was a glorious day on the pitch last Saturday. The Pirates got their first victory of the season with a 9-5 beating. I have said it before, and I will say it again, we cannot play at 9am. This game was at 11, and the kids were ready to play. We are all asleep at 9.
We now take a 2 week break for Easter before hitting the field again.
It was a loss, we lost again
We fell 9-4 this morning to the Vipers. What makes it worse is that they are the team that stole our black jerseys. We are just not awake at these 9am games. All 4 of our goals came in the 2nd half, we spent the entire first half watching the ball roll around.
In other news, we had to place one of the new players on injured reserve for the rest of the season due to a foot problem.

Shuttle launch
Just watched the shuttle launch. We are up at Sarah's parents for Joe's birthday. Even all the way up here in Ocala you get a pretty good view. This was our view from their driveway. The kids were yelling "have a good time" to the astronauts as loud as they could.
Lost 2 more
Last week the Pirates went down 13-0 in a massive whooping to Team Brazil. They were not really from Brazil, but you would not have known the difference. That team needs to find a more competitive league to play in.
This morning we lost 7-2. We had 1 own goal, whiffed on 2 opportunities to prevent goals, and had about 10 close calls. We should have won this one, the kids played hard, they were maybe just a little too eager, took them a little too long to get into the groove.
Now we are trying to figure out what to do for the weekend. We have a lot to do, too many options.

7-4
This morning's soccer game was pretty rough. After keeping the kids occupied for an hour before the game for pictures proved to be too much for their attention span. Despite that, we still put up a good performance being a man down and kept the game competitive only loosing 7-4.
There was a little bit of controversy. The other team played a defender back in front of the goal. This was something they specifically asked us not to do in the coach's meeting at the beginning of the year. But both teams that we have played this year have done it. Today, one of our parents got a little irritated and said something to the other team. That kicked off a whole bunch of conversation, I will probably remind the league officials to send a reminder to the rest of the coaches.
