First Soccer Game....

First game of the year tonight, just got home so this might be a little bit of a rant....
This game was frustrating from the very beginning. I showed up and we only had 3 players. We have 7 players on my team, so I was already annoyed. I hate it when people aren't committed to something they signed up for.

By the time the game started, we only had 4 people. Yay. The other team played 4 on 4 so it would be "fair". Thanks other team. I was gladly going to take any help we could get.
Let me just state now that once Coach Mills listed the teams, I knew that my team was going to lose every game, I'm usually an optimist, but this time, I was a realist. The other teams were stacked, and my team only had two people who showed up regularly.
So back to the game, I wasn't expecting to win, and neither was anyone else on my team, but we were sure going to give it us our best shot.
Turns out, only two of our players were actually any help. I'm not trying to be mean, but it was pretty much me and another guy playing. The other two didn't show up to many practices so that's probably why.
It was a really, really tough game. The first half ended 1-12, (guess who had 1?) so for the second half one player and I knew we had to step it up. I assisted in most of the goals and actually made one by myself.
The game ended at like 9-22 or something, so that really sucked.
We tried as hard as we could, so hopefully Coach will do what he said he wouldn't, and change the teams. Because I don't think we can go the rest of the season like this.
Let's end on a positive note though k?
The Principal told me I actually played very good. Coach told me he's very glad that I got in there and he's glad that I am an aggressive person :D
He also told me....(drumroll)......that for only playing for a few weeks, he thinks I'm really going to be an amazing player. I'm glad. I honestly think I'm starting to get it down really well.
Not to brag, but I do this cool perfect backwards pass :D
Sorry, that was all ranting and bragging. I've had a frustrating night.... :(

First off, sorry about the loss, sounds like a lot of bad planning from whoever is in charge of it. Sounds like you gave a great hustle though, and ended up giving a great second half.

Next, I've been meaning to ask, but haven't talked with you for a while, what position do you play? and what kind of a league are you signed up in?

sounds like the second half was pretty cool. i'm glad the teams are going to be changed.
