Sweaty lads in the desert

Last Friday I played in a 6 v 6 soccer tournament and after losing in the group stage. We went into the conciliation round and ended up winning the 'plate division"  on the final penalty kick. However, the plate looked more like a tea saucer.  played seven 20 minute games starting at noon ending at 7:45pm. never sweated so much in my life, or drank so much water.

It was pretty hilarious watching how seriously many of the teams were with full uniforms, coaches etc. Our team managed to get 5 yellow cards... one of which was during a game we weren't even playing in!  During the Cup final top division we laughed at a guy who was called for diving... and subsequently he scored, ran over to the sideline where we were sitting and pull his pants down and mooned us while dancing the emirate jib....for which he was given another yellow card. HA! 

  We celebrated our victorious day with KFC, rum and beer.   attached is the rag tag crew post victory. well played lads.

All is well otherwise.  We just skyped with Minh (jenn's maid of honor) and she and micheal are coming to see us in May for 4 days.
