Ev's final game of the term left me thanking any listening deity. His team displayed biblical awfulness - playing a team that consisted of a gang of clowns and one infinitely serious player, with a howitzer shot - who no-one bothered to mark out of existence. In the end, they prevailed, with a scoreline of 9-5 (yes, soccer, not rugby) with Ev absolutely besieged, shells raining down. This dude was amazing - to give him appropriate credit - scored one goal with a free kick from almost the half way line (wtf!). Ev spent most of the game horizontal - saved three, got a hand to one other - and with the other four on the receiving end of the spirit of Christiano Ronaldo, breathing hellfire and damnation. All in all it turned out to be pretty exciting - his team eventually decided not to be palookas and scored four in the last five minutes. I did have to ask them on the way home why it was that they actually went to school. Clearly thinking about the situation was not at the forefront of the collective. Should have beaten them 15-2 (two unstoppable free kicks allowed for).

Could post six more just like this - horizontal Ev. Love this pic - the looks on the faces of people watching. This kid was seriously incredible - insane blend of velocity and accuracy. The ball in this pic is long gone. |
