What a way to finish the season

Todays match was an elimination one since if we won we'd be competing for 3rd place but if we lost it was over, so as you can probably imagine we lost 5-3 unfortunately but I have to say it was the most amazing match I have ever played.

Our coach put me as a striker since last weeks match against each other showed my talent as an offensive player and I scored 2 goals. One of them was a beautiful turn against a defender and a volley into the back of the net. The second one was me getting the ball because of the pressure I put on the defenders who had the ball, then I dribbled through 2 and slide it past the keeper's reach. I had numerous other opportunities to score and if I talk to you this week you will hear me complaining about the fact I didn't score 3 since I once headed the ball and it just when over the bar and the other times were when the keeper dived to the ball before I got a chance to tap it in. 

Overall, I think I should have gone into space a bit more and called for the ball rather than expect it to come to me. There were some moments I think I should have passed it instead of dribbled it but that was only once or twice.

Even though we lost, we got trophies for being "the best sportsmanship team" since out of all the teams competing we weren't too violent and aggressive and we respected our opponents unlike other teams.

Since the season is over for us, I plan to go swimming on the weekends for an hour each day since I finally got the health certificate.
