football this morning started out so well with a goal in the 5th minute or so. we played in the cup, against the same team we lost 4-2 a week ago in the league. unfortunately we had no substitutes (5 minutes before the game we weren't even enough to play) so we all had to conserve our energy.
well, they didn't actually create all that much, and we had a few dangerous chances in the first half. second half was pretty much the same, but they felt even less dangerous. we were of course focusing on counter-attacks, but couldn't really put the nail in the coffin. however, with 5 seconds (!) left of the game, a ball into the box somehow gets a touch on one of their player's head, and it goes into the goal. we don't even have time to kick off after the goal, the ref blows the whistle right away.
no extra time, straight to penalties. I decided that I'd try to be goalie, and do my best. and oh so unlucky we are... all penalties are really well taken, the goalies had basically no chance on any of them. I had my hand on one of them, but it was too hard for me to be able to save. third penalty, one of our players has the goalie completely sent the opposite way, but hits the post :(
up until the very last one, everyone scores with really good penalty kicks, and then their player steps up for it. and what does he do? sends it in off the bar, really close to the post. no chance for me to take it... :-/
so there goes our dream of cup glory, now we'll just have to focus on the league.
in other news, tomorrow is first time to go running. short sprints and then a bit of long distance. here's the schedule:
- sprints, 6*50m (run, walk back, repeat)
- rest and drink
- sprints, 6*50m
- rest and drink
- running, 5 km (approximate time: 30 min, 22-23 min is even better, eventually 20 min is the goal)
- rest and drink
- sprints, 6*50m
by now, I'm more or less dead. so it's just time to get back home :)
