We're Back!

Abejas vs. Chivas 1-8

After a long layoff we came in to face the Chivas. We had a lot of rust since we haven't played in almost 3 weeks. We've been indoors practicing and playing the U-12 girls so we played okay. I feel that this is a very strong division but I know the Abejas U-14 girls will come out and give it everything they have. I'm not so sure they really care if they win or lose against the boys. I think what matters to them is that they want to come out and have fun playing a game that they enjoy. I think the Abejas are focused on an upcoming game against the other girls U-14 team. My understanding of the Brazilians is that they feel they can beat the Abejas. This leads me believe that we didn't overlook this game but are more focused on the upcoming game. The Abejas have a couple of winable games coming up. Regardless of the win-loss column we will be in the playoffs at the end of the season. I look forward to a big upset come the end of the season which is going to anger some people. I say this because of our past experience in playoffs. Our history is that we usually knock someone off.
