#52 - The Cosmos Owe Me...

We're having one soccer game tonight and then another on Friday. We have a good chance to win either of these if we get our acts together. The teams' records are very close or only slightly better than our own so odds are good that we won't be slaughtered. At least I hope so.

But my eye is on the prize, babies. I WILL score a soccer goal dammit! I've had two near misses. But I was totally robbed both times. The sweet glory of momentary soccer super-stardom is upon me. I can taste it.

If I score tonight, I might be the first one on our team to score a legit girl goal. (Girl goals count for 2 points instead of 1 on coed teams - the feminist and the competitor inside me struggle with this concept from time to time.) Dilek and Brianna have officially each scored before, but they were both accidental deflections off of their unsuspecting body parts. Brianna got it in the butt. Dilek got it in the right boob (poor thing). No. Wait. Katie actually scored a beautiful goal in our first season. But since its a new season, I'm still going to count it. :)

Wish me luck!
