One-touch passing pro

Played my first football match with the uni's social football club (Club Universidad de Futbol), and I was the only girl there! Playing with ~20 guys.

Brave. Very brave.

My right toe is badly bruised, and bleeding from under the toenail. yeeeeouch!

But I had fun! You know how I always want to be the striker because of Ruud, I couldn't today. The guys were taller and ran quicker and were stronger. Felt more like Robinho... Ended up playing in midfield, sort of like Raul or Guti (trying to think of a Man United equivalent, but I can't). Made lots of good passes - a lot of them were one-touch - even the guys were impressed. Had 4 attempts at goal, 2 shots on target. I couldn't run as much as I wanted to because I hurt my toe, and I still have a blocked nose (even as I'm typing now).

I won't be going again until about a month later because of assessments. :(

BARCELONA 3 - 3 REAL MADRID. Whoa! Ruud scored at 5', and a penalty at 13' (I think)...but as usual, Real can't defend for crap. We were so close to winning, but Messi was on fire and scored in extra-time. Stupid Capello and his stupid defensive formations which DON'T work. /rant
