Soccer - Injury
Guess what position I was asked to play today?
You guessed it - Center Mid!
Our captain wasn't there today and the vice captain decided to keep and asked me to be the center man and create play fom the centre of the field.
About 5 minutes in while attacking the ball near the other team's goal I pulled a groin muscle in a tackle. As we had no substitutes I elected to stay on. I was reduced to a hobble and I couldn't kick the ball hard. However I could take a defensive player up (from their team) and I could play balls passed to me on to other players.
Towards the end of the second half I almost scored a goal from a corner while challenging the cross with the keeper. I got my head to it but he had his hands right there and saved it. We ended losing a closely fought game 4-3 with their last goal being scored with 5 minutes to go.
So now I am huddled up on the sofa watching the Brisbane Lions massacre the Adelaide Crows and after this game is finished I shall watch the All Blacks vs South Africa in Rugby Union. Great armchair football!
Hopefully my groin will be OK for next weeks game.
Little survey - what gane is your favorite and why? Add your comments.
