How's everybody doing? It's been one insanely busy week at work, and I was so needing a weekend. The weekend is almost over now but I do feel less stressed. On friday I went on a first date and it went well, and we'd both like to see each other again. Then Saturday was all about soccer as it should be. :D I got to watch the Reading v Man U game and was very happy with the result. Marcus was a bit scary with some of the rebounds he was giving up, but I can't blame him on Chris' goal. I then watched Stuttgart play at home. They were leading late into the game, but don't worry they managed to give up a late goal to tie it up. :( Stuttgart is so frustrating!
Then came the DCU v Red Bull game at RFK. The stadium was pretty packed and I think we were particularly loud. :D As has become a custom with us we were missing a bunch of starters (Gros, Namoff, and B Carroll). I really enjoyed the tribute to the original '96 team. Marco has also been officially put up on our Wall of Excellence. :D Brian Carroll stoped by the Barra and got a T-shirt! :) Our players are awesome! So after we were up 2-1 in the second half when Facundo looked like him and Youri were having a bit of a diagreement and kicked at him (I haven't watched the game again yet so not sure). But Facundo got a red while Youri got a yellow. We managed to score two more goals on the run of play while playing a man down, and we also gave up two. So we won 4-3! A win is a win, and now we are guaranteed first place in the east and home field advantage through the playoffs. :D
Then on Sunday we had our last reserve home game. We ended up losing 0-1 on a PK. This game seemed like on of the louder reserve games I've been to, and I was laughing during most of it. We have some fun hecklers on our side. :D Before the game even started Jon Conway was warming up punting the ball and he kept hitting it into the stands. So when he finally kicked one that stayed on the field we cheered, and he bowed to us. :p When Buddle subbed in many people were having fun with the DUI jokes. And there may have been a few Scotland sheep joks. :p
I then decided I really should do some clothes shopping because it's been forever since I bought more than a jersey. :p But I kept getting annoyed again when I couldn't find any pants that fit. I did manage to find one pair of black pants and some khakis. I must have lost more weight than I realized because I used to fit in 2 or 3, but now some 1-2 are too big for me. :( I need to gain some weight, but my body doesn't seem interested. I seem to go through times where my stomach doesn't want to eat anything and I have to force myself to eat small amount, and then I'll start feeling better. This has been going on for about 2 years now, and maybe I should think about going to a doctor. I don't know. (Sorry to annoy anyone trying to lose weight) :(
