Loses

This weekend my team (I say that because I'm captain) managed to lose it's undefeated tag. We lost 1-0 to Bayside, and yes that means they got a goal past me. We are still top of the table as that is our first loss but we still have 2 tough games in the next couple of weeks and I wish I was still playing defence so I could contribute more. Playing in goals puts a lot more pressure on you, and I've remembered why I quit playing as keeper. There is no way to help your team win. Make a mistake and the opposition can score and win the game, so you can only keep the status quo or, worse yet, help the other team win. Not my idea of fun. But yes it was cold...so cold I put another shirt on underneath the long sleeve goalkeepers shirt. And it was still chilly...but I was just warm enough.

And to top it off I lost in DreamTeam. Mainly due to my own ineptitude as I forgot to name emergencies. So when I was 3 players down I was not able to cover the positions, resulting in me losing by 40 point. I had a player sitting on the bench get 82, and he definitely would have been coming into my team as a replacement, allowing me to win this week. 5 trades left, still 7 odd rounds to go. I've dropped to 5th on the table, looking like I won't be in the top four come the finals. I have only lost 3 games, so it's not panic stations. I need three more wins before I'm confident of being in the finals. One should come this week against Lore...but she'll probably come out and get 2000+ just to spite me...it's what I'd do :)
