It was Allison's weekend of soccer...this time in Carlsbad and 4S Ranch for the Albion Cup.
The first game was against United and the girls played the best I've ever seen them play. However, they lost a tough one 2-1. In the afternoon they played Arsenal in one of the weirdest games. They won 3-0, but it was crazy bunch ball and not much skill.
When we found out we would be playing at Stagecoach Park, we got word that we were just down the street from Rita's Italian Ice. What an amazing creation...frozen custard on the bottom, Italian ice in the middle (we all got mango) and another swirl of frozen custard on the top!
Sunday mornings game was a "must win" if we wanted to advance to the semi's. The girls played Castro Valley (from the bay area). There is no way some of these girls were 11 as they were bigger than half of our parents, but oh well. It was a tough one both on and off the field. We lost 3-0, but were more disappointed and disgusted by one of the opponent's parents on the sideline. He was cursing and so inappropriate that we had to get a field marshall to stand next to him the entire game. Really? We didn't advance which was disappointing. The girls have one more tournament in a few weeks before the season gets underway...
