somehow, we didn't beat Firestorm in the final of the Stanford Spring Cup. Firestorm won on PKs after a very tense 1-1 tie. For perspective, Firestorm got the ball into the TG penalty box twice... no more, just twice. The first time led to a goal. Even that excursion was by chance - Carrie cleared the ball but it rebounded off Yoshi back towards the TG goal and released a Firestorm player who hit a weak shot that was wide of Sierra but into the back of the net. By this point, TG had hit the cross bar from 2 yards out, Olivia missed by inches with a great header from Tess' corner and we wasted countless other chances to score.... its actually getting a bit worrying, as this is a theme dating back to the Eureka game in Association Cup.
Even in group play at Stanford, TG made things tougher than necessary. Juventus had two shots and scored 2 goals, TG had 20 shots and scored 3 goals. The group game against Firestorm should have been a 6-0 win instead of a 2-0 win. We will work on "finishing" at practice.
And I have to say, the trophy is pretty cool !
