This is like live blogging while watching an old game.
I loved the way Nela could win any ball by shielding for it. She was excellent at putting her body between her opponent and the ball to win the ball. Danielle S. was also really good at that I thought.*
*my soccer thoughts are usually irrelevant and wrong, but occasionally really right.
On one occasion I was really really right. I remember telling someone that Nela needed to start in my opinion. They followed the team very closely and they said "No way!" as if to say I was delusional. Turns out Nela was the leading goal scorer that year..while not starting until almost halfway into the season. As a matter of fact Nela has played professionally in Sweden...and scored goals there. I'm not totally wacky.
I also think we lead the league in shots from 35-40 yards out. Sometimes possessions would end in games of kickball homerun derby.
Don't kill me for negativity or anything. This is in the past. We should be able to make fun of it now.
