The announcers on the FSC during an EPL game would have called it a cracker. I just call it one of the top 10 shots in my soccer career. This past weekend, I hit a volley from about 25-30 yards out, upper 90, near post against one of our newest rivals. Unfortunately, I forgot to pull out a goal celebration worthy of the moment. In all honesty, it was a pretty amazing shot...and not something that I would ever claim to be able to repeat again, so I feel comfortable patting my back on this one as long as I admit the fact that it may not be repeatable. To top it off, I think it was the game winner but I am not 100% sure. I feel a little odd about bragging about the shot, but seriously, if you saw it, I think you would understand and forgive the hubris of this post.
In the end, the game ended up with a 9-3 score line as we piled it on towards the final whistle. It was a pretty satisfying win for multiple reasons that I won't go into here. Suffice it to say that I really wanted to beat this team badly and to put one in the back of the net like that and to have our team pile on 8 other goals felt great. I'm not so psyched we gave up 3 though. We need to work on that.
This makes the co-ed team 2-0, with 20 goals for and 3 goals against in 2 games. Not a bad start to the season.

I'll allow the hubris. It was a nice shot...
that's what mine is going to look like... i'm just waiting for the right ball from pele1410...
It was an incredible shot, the type that allows for a little cockiness...and you were recovering from the flu. Nice game winner!
Carlee- It's coming, I'm waiting for a big game like Monarch to give it to you.
Will- I can't believe you didn't pull a Cantona.
Oh! Such sweet goodness! Wish I could have been there to see it.
Thanks so much for these updates.
