Young Blood

Sorry about my episode on Theme Thursday my bloggy friends.

I had a very dandy day today :)

The Middleton World Cup was absolutely epic!

After being thrashed 9-nil on Tuesday by Denmark, my fellow Germans and I were quite disheartened.

But thanks to Bob, one of our team members, and his suggestion of reading Al Pacino's Inch by Inch speech, we got quite fired up today!

I changed a few parts to suit soccer, and had to skip out the second to last paragraph, but I even amped myself up haha!

I was practically yelling parts of it, really getting into it,
and when someone came over and told us that it was time to face the Netherlands team, I bounded away feeling a lot more energetic!

I've got to say, I'm as shocked as you are that I scored the first goal!
And girls goals are worth two points!
And Lovely Laurissa got the next one :)

It was pretty insane, we actually played really hard, and I was so proud of all of us!

The teams only have four players, and the games are only 8 intense minutes long- damn hard for someone like me who's used to endurance!

Sam was such a damn good goalie that he dislocated his finger for the good of the team!

We lost 4-6 - a damn site better than Tuesday!

And then I just had a lovely afternoon before I went to Rockquest :)

Everyone feeling cheerier now?

Good to see you've perked up a bit. We're gearing for Aus vs Germany on Sunday night but don't fancy our chances. Don't forget to vote on 10thDom (haha got in before Jeff cos he's a bit poorly tonight)

Seeing your smile after the game, and how happy you were that we did so much better made it worth having the bones in my finger next to one another horizontally rather than vertically!
