Futsal

[gerbie]

This afternoon a team of students thought they had the unique opportunity to beat a team of overaged, overweight and overstressed men called their teachers in an indoor football game. They missed their chance. After scoring the first goal, they conceded 8 in the first half. In the second half the teachers were friendly and did not play up to scratch. The final result was a 14 - 5 victory for the old men. Yours truly scored the first two goals for his side and ended on 6 goals and will be walking around with a huge grin in school for a few days to come.

Reminds

That reminds me of the first time i played indoor 5 a-side, our team at the time was all young fit 17-19 year olds against a team of beer bellied old men with very little hair between them. We thought we'd win easily we lost 18-2 or some really crazy score like that.

I think i learnt my lesson after that one.

Exactly what happened yesterday. One of them was third in a MTV contest for street football players. Some others play at a reasonable level. They laughed when they saw us coming out of our cars. Some old men, others limping just for the show, but we all played football at a reasonable level at some point, they can become good players some day. We scored several textbook goals, they could just stand and watch.

Rematch

I'm already awaiting news of a rematch if they are up to it of course. Experience counts for everything then? :)

We´re a bit dualistic on a rematch. We´ve got nothing to gain, so we might as well wait until all these students have left school. On the other hand, we would like to play them on a field, instead of indoors. A bit of a crowd, make it a specatacle.

Experience doesn´t count for everything, but it certainly helps. Some of my goals were easy tap ins, Shearer type goals, but I was there on the right moment and the attack preceding it was fantastic, even though we never played together before. I can only put that to experience.
