So this past weekend we had two largely important games of football for the Campus League. Saturday was 85 or 90 F no one really knows how hot it actually gets or whether or not you can trust the thermometers here. Any how, its fucking hot and we had a game at 130, the hottest part of the day! It was a brutal game... we took the lead early on with a penalty kick only to have the other team strick back with an amazing goal outside the 18 yard box. Oh I didn't mention the fact that we were playing only 10 men the entire first half!!
By the second half we thought we might end up losing the game; the other team was just pounding us; but two extra players eventually showed up and came into the game and helped considerable on defense and the midfield. We ended up winning the game 3-1 with two goals coming in the last five minutes of the game.
On Sunday, the weather was half as bad, windy as usual but not too hot. We dominated the whole game with our main striker Taffy scoring 5 goals!!! We won 6-3, the opposition's goals being free rewards from the referees. Any how, these wins help keep our hopes alive for play-offs.
Saturday night I hung out with my friends from Angola. We cooked a huge feast and watched some videos of the previous weekend, Valdeman's 25th. The pictures were so funny, and the videos later in the night being even funnier. It was nice to hang with the guys, picking up a few words in Portuguese here and there. Any how, hope all is well with everyone; only 10 more days till Spring Break Stellenbosch/Cape Town here I come!!!
Cheers!
