Liesl and her teammates have been enjoying an easy season of soccer -- they have won many of their games 8-0 after the first half (when a mercy rule kicks in). Their one competitive match was against Jesuit last week, where they tied 2-2. That was really fun to watch. These photos are from a game against Wilsonville. Liesl has been playing defense, as always, sometimes center back, sometimes left or right back. She's been pressing forward more on offense, looking to connect passes through the midfield and then be open to receiving the ball forward, and that's been fun to see. She has a lot of speed and it would be fun to see her using it to attack.
It's fall, it's football season. Every year, Steve is a like a little boy, so excited to see his team play, eagerly anticipating the first game … until someone drops a catch or misses a tackle, or they commit some ridiculous foul, or they lose, and then he’s in despair. Until the next week! Happily, first game of the season ended in a win for the good guys.
