I thought Soccer Saturdays couldn't get any better until 2 weeks ago when Marlie just rocked it at her soccer game. I'm not sure what happened but it all just clicked in the 2nd quarter. She went crazy and scored 7 goals! She was dribbling like crazy from one end of the field to the other and once she shot it in at an angle. And if that wasn't enough...she ran down the other team when they were on the breakaway and kicked the ball out of bounds...at least 4 times. The only time they scored was when she was out of the game. She looked just like Matt and we couldn't believe it! She was pumped and even did a special move. It sort of looked like the "Superman" but a tad different. She said it was "break it up" whatever that means!
We weren't sure what happened that game but didn't know if we'd see a performance like that EVER again. But last week she did great again. Maybe 5 goals and less blocked shots but it was still awesome. She is having a blast and Doug, Matt and I couldn't be more proud!
So how about Mr. Matt? Well those boys have won their last 2 games maybe 20ish to 0 and 20ish to 1. And that's because Coach Dan told them not to score goals towards the end of the game. The plays these boys make are incredible. Matt probably has had 5-6 goals in each of the last two games. The best play though was Matt's corner kick to Cole and Cole knocked it in the goal from the outside. I was so shocked, that I actually didn't cheer...and usually I'm yelling through the entire game. The other super cute moment was after one game, Matt apparently got all 4 boys that were playing with him to do "the salute" at the end of the game. There has been lots of celebrating after goals and you can't blame the boys for doing it. They have perfected the chest bump, side bump, back bump...whatever you can think of!
We were so glad that Papa and Nona Lisa got to watch a great show this past weekend. The kid's sure did do their best to make sure they lived up to the hype!!
