West Side Soccer

When we lived in Murray, Sam played soccer in an East Side soccer league. It was mostly little white kids falling down and crying. When we moved to Taylorsville, we joined a West Side soccer league. His West Side team, the Blue Dragons, has mostly Latino kids who are bred through careful genome manipulation to be superior soccer players. Seriously, these little kids pwn. The always win, usually in a bloody shut-out of 8-0.



The little kid in the white hat is the love child of Pele and David Beckham. He's a soccer ninja. And number 9 cries if he doesn't score at least five goals in a game. Sam has improved a lot playing with these kids. He got his first goal today. Woohoo!



Here's a team photo. I believe the coach on the right eats little babies for breakfast every morning.




Owen started playing this year too. He's still at that age where soccer is about knocking other kids down and running into the net. We are still searching for a genetically superior soccer team for him to join.

Where I come from, we call that face "pirate." But he needs to close one eye to make it authentic.
