I’ve been going to the gym just about every day for the past 4 or 5 months, but a few days ago some of the StudentUniverse folks got together to play soccer instead. We managed to get teams of 5, USA vs. the World.
Team USA is a little confused
The International All-Stars
Ian
Stefano
Francis preening
Bjorn corralling the ball
Kris bringing the ball up
Kris bringing the ball up more
Bjorn boxing Francis out
Why am I the one going to get the ball?
Stef is down, yo
Atle
Stef back on D
I fall down. For the life of me I don’t remember why I fell down, but I guess I must have tripped over someone or something like that? Right?
Getting myself up off the ground.
Kris working through 3 defenders
Francis is not a trained soccer player
Francis and Stef on the attack
ZJ prepares a shot
ZJ shoots
Keep away from Bjorn
Dan kicks. (After the game she decided that from now on she’s only joining in our reindeer games if the sport is yoga.)
Bjorn cringes in fear. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
Gavin goes through two defenders
Stef and Kris take a break. (It’s a muni job, what can I say?)
Atle knocks the ball down. Atle is about 40 feet tall, and its worth noting that this particular ball might have been over my head.
Ian and Gavin looking for an unopposed score.
Oops. Gavin forgot something.
Going deep, but unrewarded. We played 3 games to 5, and by the last of them I was the only one on the field who still had the legs to really run. Quite gratifying, actually, especially considering that a number of the folks out there (Bjorn and Atle, for example), run marathons and stuff like that.

my soccer playing co-workers can beat your soccer playing co-workers.

yes, because i’ve never seen ian fall down apropos of nothing… yes…
are you coming to PD? make your co-worker do the “work” part of “co-worker”: people get pregnant all the time. he can be there for the next one. Beerschtick needs you! Ohio needs you! You’re in better shape than I am- who’s gonna run for the points I’m supposed to be on the field?
On the other hand, sounds like the gym regimen is paying off- sweet!
