Today's soccer practice was pretty fun. For once, we actually got to scrimmage each other. :) A little 3 v 3 in the gym does good for your soul.
In the middle of the game, I managed to weave through a couple of players and dribble towards goal. I didn't score, but this got my adrenaline pumping. As I ran back to help defend, a fellow player clipped my foot, which made me fall to the floor. As I got back up, I couldn't believe what had happened to me. Seriously... did he just trip me? WTF MAN! I don't know if it was the adrenaline, but if he was facing me, I probably would of punched him square in the face. Lucky for me, he wasn't facing me, so I slide tackled him instead. After the game, my coach approached me and told me that what my team member was wrong, but I could have gotten a red card for retaliating.
So the moral of the lesson is this: Instead of striking back, stay on the floor and act like you're hurt. That way, you make him feel bad.
I witnessed this ;)
