Soccer - 11/22/08

Last day of soccer!!! What has felt like a short season of soccer is over. These are the pictures from the last games. We don't have any pictures from Tanner's game because Dad was coaching and Mom was dealing the the chaos on the sideline.

Jordan in the foreground...Rhonda and kids in the background. This is the basic sideline setup. Believe me, it is TONS o' fun trying to fit a wagon, cooler, canopy, stroller, and 4 chairs in the back of the van!!!

Hopefully there is a ball between them...otherwise it is probably bad etiquette to make a face like that at another team member

Don't be afraid, it's just a soccer ball

Weston has some serious hops

Playing with your eyes shut #1

Playing with your eyes shut #2

Few people can make missing the ball look so cool

Boys, stop looking at it and go get it

Off the top of the head

A classic example of what NOT to do when the ball is coming towards your goal

"I sure am glad that kid got put on a time-out and has to go stand in the corner"

"All mine"

And the winner for best hair style goes to.....

"If it wasn't so dang bright out here I'd do something about that girl getting the ball"

I believe this is only acceptable when wearing a goalie jersey

"Sir, please stand back and let a professional handle this"

"What do you suppose that kid is doing down there?"
"I don't know, but lets get the ball before he figures out it's there"

In general, the only time it is acceptable to stand back and admire your opponent's skill is when you're playing against Michael Jordan

The ball is behind you #1

The ball is behind you #2: "Um, why no, I haven't seen a ball around here"

The ball is behind you #3: Opening your eyes would be helpful

The ball is right in front of you #1

The ball is right in front of you #2

The ball is right in front of you #3

You just hope this kid put his shin guards on correctly and has the ankle guard on the outside

Weston is once again demonstrating why shin guards are required in soccer

Kung Fu #1: There have been many that were close this year, but finally we have the perfect Karate Kid pose

Kung Fu #2: "Look kid, the choice is easy...hand over the ball or it's your head!"
