Earlier I wrote about Erin Clark making a sick play. I saw this video and it says that Clark kicked it off of the defender and into the goal...I thought she kicked it off her right foot, into her left foot which then caused it to go into the goal and fake out everyone else...no wonder I couldn't kick it off of my right foot and on to my left foot and have it go anywhere accurately...although it's not like I play much soccer.

I still think that that goal is pretty cool, it just not as sick as I thought it was at first. Kicking it off of the defender and into the goal is more luck then skill.

Don't get me wrong though, scoring 3 goals, scoring a hat trick is not luck, that's skill and that's worth mentioning again. Erin Clark scored a hat trick last game and that's impressive and she did that because she's really really really really good at soccer and not because she is lucky.

If you think I am spending my summer trying to find videos of Erin Clark scoring soccer goals then you'd be right...

Just kidding.

Since 1pm I've gone on a 3 or 4 mile run, 22 mile bike ride and mowed the lawn. I also watched some law and order. I keep busy.

Actually I just check the team website occasionally and they tend to post videos of the team. The New England Mutiny were just named the ABC-40 team of the week.

The media really pay attention to the team and make the team important. They seem to take video's of all their home games. They don't do that for UConn and UConn has been to 8 final fours. I don't know where ABC 40 or TV-22 come from...my guess is Springfield but they are doing live highlights of the team. They are doing a pretty good job. It's got to be cool for the players too. They play in front of passionate fans and they get some good air-time on local news sports-casts. By the way if you didn't see the video, the stands looked filled at the game.

Here is the New England Mutiny website.

My friend Brian and I are probably going to watch CT Soccer Plus at the Mutiny in June.
