I am sad to report the mighty men and women in blue suffered a 4-0 loss to end their modest two game winning streak. We did lose to a superior team that had a lot of bigger, faster and more talented players. Currently undefeated, I will not be surprised if that team wins the league title this year.
That being said, the play of the Blue team was mixed. We played hard and competed, but suffered breakdowns that the other team always seemed to capitalize on. When we didn't effectively clear the ball, they collected it and took a shot on goal. When we waited for the ball instead of moving toward it, they intercepted it. I find no shame in losing to a better team and hope that we can try and emulate their style of play. They possessed the ball, moved without the ball into open space, and communicated well on the field.
We did have some scoring opportunities in the game and were unlucky not to put at least one through. For the first time this season, I did not think we were better than the other team. Thankfully, there were no injuries to report. Let's hope we can start another winning streak this coming Sunday.
