This weekend's soccer

Last weekend had Christopher's team playing a 'house' team from Soccer-zone (a team made up of random individuals, not an organized team like the Okemos Cheetahs....Christopher and Matthew played on house teams last year). This house team didn't really show up, so, Matthew and Austen from the younger team helped them out.

Matthew's team had two games, they won on Saturday and were crushed like grapes in Sunday's game. Our opponents from Sunday have practiced together for about a year now and doesn't really have any weak players and it shows. Their good players, however, push (push isn't the right word...forearms might be better) quite a bit and Matthew took quite a beating. One of the downsides of editing all of this video is I had the chance to go back and see all of that pushing.....

Here's Christopher's video....pay close attention at the beginning, Christopher will tell you exactly what the other team's problem was after the referee blew the whistle to start....
