A morning and an Evening of Soccer of this Saturday just past.


Lynx to an old post
Lynx to an old post you haven't read yet from last week regarding my review-well, sorta review-of The Sparrow, and a sameday report on neice #3's soccer game that day. Read up, forgive my deep sexism, then come back and read neice #3's next game rite in the man body of this post.

Secondary School Soccer.
Drove from my hood all the way to Glenview to watch 70m of freshman soccer featuring neice #3 total driving time was probably 140m. She played well, scoring the only (winning) goal while she tumbled through space and onto her wrist, which promptly broke, Well, this time it was just a chip- nothing too serious. She gets hurt a lot. again, she looked dangerous during the game. Collected neice #1, her sister, on the way up- she's a 13th grader @ Loyola University.


Professional Soccer.
Went to Fire game w/ Gf. Wasn’t sure she was going, but she did. Nephew #3 went, but he again was with his own crew- 2 cars, 13 teenagers-for a tailgate. He also sat w/ his frenz in Section 8 while Gf and I sat on the sidelines. Section 8 was especially loud. The whole section was filled from top to bottom, much like the first game, but was louder and more assertive. It seems that it will be that way for most games this season. Section 8 seats are so bad, site line-wise, compared to the seats we sat in. Tis a treat to sit on the sidelines. Used to always sit on the “50 yard line” for most Fire games @ Soldiers Field, but the kids would feel cheated w/out the Section 8 experience, so….. However, with the kids now going to the games w/ frenz, I expect to sit on the sidelines more from here on out. Fire won, 2-1.
