Soccer Weekend

The weekend before last, we got to spend a couple of nights with the Desjardins (Francois, Regine, Herve and Edouard).  It was a look into the life of a soccer family.  Both Herve and Edouard play soccer year round and Francois is an assistant coach on one of Edouard's teams.

As it was the end of the summer soccer season, we got to see the final games for both the boys.  It was the championship match and the tension was high - at least for me.

Edouard's game was at 8am and it just about killed me to get up at 7am!  Edouard is a forward on the team and he scored 2 goals to help his team win the championship!

Herve is older and he plays defense so he did not get any opportunities to score any goals which is a shame as he is a good player.  His team also won the championship!

Herve's game was more nerve racking for me than Edouard's as the teams were well matched.  During the second half, I was biting my nails cause we were 2 points ahead of the other team and I was worried they would take the lead away from our boys. 

We also got to watch an over 35 game.  It was quite good and we had a bit of hockey break out during the second half.  There was some blows exchanged between 2 players and it was encouraging to hear the crowd screaming at them to stop! 

Sorry, all the pictures I took of the games didn't turn out!
