futbol party

just three of us, jackson, her new friend, and me watching the usa women kick the ball around the japan team and win going away... for my memory, japan scored one goal on one play when an otherwise stellar us defense broke down and then the us gave japan one goal when a defensive header bounced into the us goal... the us team won 5-2 and set all sorts of records, most goals in a championship match, fastest goal (3 min) fastest two goals (5 min) fasted 3 goals (14 min) and fasted 4 goals (16 min)... carly lloyd had the first hat trick (three goals) in a championship games... there were other records as well, but it was total domination from the first few minutes... a little help from field position as the japan goalie had to face the sun in the first half and the sun was mostly down when the us had to take that goal in the second half... japan's only goal in the second half was off the us defender's head... so it was a good party all around and the pizza was excellent... two pies for $42 (including delivery charge and tip), it had better had been excellent...

work interrupted several times with problems i solved, but otherwise it was a fun party and a bit of rare social time... in case you wondered...
