Manchester United v New England Revolution
So as I have said before I play with the New England Revolution or for short Revs. Well recently we played in this 7 v 7 indoor tournament. I live about an hr from the tournament and am the farthest one, besides our keeper who lives in Maine but he was in Rome that weekend, so a keeper from Bayside had to come play with our team. He wasn't bad, he was actually pretty good and had some good saves. Well we started the tournament out good and we won the first game by a lot like 12 - 1. It was vs ODP Olympic Development Players. The second game was vs Manchester United! They scored the first goal but we came back and Oscar scored a free kick into the bottom left corner 1-1. Then Bryann scored for our team right before the halftime whistle 2-1. I was playing good and aggressive. Then the coach told us at halftime that the Man u was going to be fired up and wanting to win the game so we had to match that and keep out lead. We went into the second half fired up but Man u were just as much fired up if not more and they scored a goal 2-2. Then Ian the other center back made a mistake and they scored again! 2-3. This was not good and when we got a free kick coach said that I should take it. I tried curving it into the top right corner but it didn't dip on time and it went just over the bar. Then when we had a corner kick I went into the box but Marco hit it just a little to high and it went over my head. Then Coach made it with just me in the back and everyone else going up to attack. Which was a risk and Man u took advantage of that and they scored again, 2-4. Then I took some free kicks on the left side with my left foot to get it to curve (I was a righty) I played some good balls in but no one got their head to the ball and because I took the freekick no one else was back and they scored yet again. 2-5 was the final score. We may have been beaten but we had played good. At the ending the coach even said that I was the man of the match, which was a big compliment because we had played against man united!
