Soccer Phenoms

My parents arrived today at 3pm. Just 3 hours later, the girls were decked out in their soccer gear, ready to impress.

And did they ever!!

Check out #10 (lucy Findlay) in 12 seconds of pure adrenalin. Note that Linda (#12) was right there beside her, blocking out any potential threats.

I have never been prouder.






And in the spirit of the Women's US World Cup Champions of 1997 (or 98?), Lucy proceeded to do what all true soccer heroines do, and that is, try to take off her shirt??




Might I add that although I don't have video documenting this, Linda was a phenomenal keeper, blocking shots left and right. After one particular save, she went up and kicked the ball out to the field, and well, just kept on going (instead of going back to her keeper's box). She dribbled the ball across the field (and picked up the ball about 5 feet before the goal-- put it right where she wanted it--) and kicked it for a goal too! Sure, maybe the ref blew the whistle to announce the end of the match about 5 seconds before, but for all intents and purposes, there were two super soccer goals today, and two super happy Findlay twinners.
