First 3 Games

  Our fall season has been off to a pretty good start. We won our first game with a goal late in the second half against our rival team. The second game didn't go as well when we lost 2-1.  It was an improvement from losing to them 4-1 in the first half of the season, but it was still disappointing. This past weekend we won 9-0 to a team at the bottom of the table. It was a good game to get our confidence back and rack up some points for the goal differential. After our game we had a team party at our training fields and locker room. We played Swedish drinking games and attempted to sing some traditional Swedish drinking songs. I also learned a few Swedish sayings, but luckily the girls decided that they would speak in English the rest of the night. I thought it was a really nice gesture considering there was only 2 of us who couldn't speak English and over 20 of them that could. It ended up very long day, but it was good to bond with the girls on the team.
   This upcoming weekend will be a true test of the competition in our league. We play the first place team at their home field. It will be a long bus ride on Saturday to get there, but we will have to be ready to play.
